Dilong ('emperor dragon') is a genus of small carnivorous dinosaur.
The only known species is Dilong paradoxus.
It is from Lower Cretaceous near Lujiatun, Beipiao, in the western Liaoning province of China It lived about 130 million years ago.
The animal had a covering of simple feathers or protofeathers.
They are not identical to modern bird feathers: they lack a central shaft.
Their likely function was to retain body warmth.
They could not have been used for flight.
Adult tyrannosaurs found in Alberta and Mongolia have skin impressions which appear to show the pebbly scales typical of other dinosaurs.
The 1990–91 NHL season was the 74th regular season of the National Hockey League.
Twenty-one teams each played 80 games.

The World Hockey Association () was a professional ice hockey league that operated in North America from 1972 to 1979.
It was the first major competition for the National Hockey League (NHL) since the end of the Western Hockey League after the 1925-26 WHL season.
Although the WHA was not the first league since that time to attempt to challenge the NHL's hold as the top league, it was by far the most successful.

The "Te Deum" is a Christian hymn.
Its original text was in Latin.
It is named after the first few words, "Te Deum laudamus" (We praise thee, O Lord).
It was probably written around the 4th or 5th century.
Most say that either Augustine of Hippo or Ambrose wrote it.
Some say it was by Nicetas, bishop of Remesiana.
Others have said that the hymn was taken from two (or more) earlier hymns: one to God the Father and another to God the Son.
After this idea, the second hymn begins with the phrase "Tu rex gloriae, Christe".
The petitions at the end of the hymn (beginning "Salvum fac populum tuum") are from verses from the book of Psalms, added to the original hymn later on.
Te Deum is close in theology to the Apostles' Creed.
It has both a poetic view of the heavenly liturgy with a declaration of faith.
"God" is named from the start of the song.
The hymn then names all people who praise and respect God, from the hierarchy of heavenly creatures, to Christians who are already in heaven, to the Church in all the world.
Many people have written music for the text, including Anton Bruckner, Giuseppe Verdi, Hector Berlioz, Antonín Dvořák, Joseph Haydn, Benjamin Britten, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, just naming a few.
Antonio Vivaldi wrote a setting of the Te Deum (RV 622), but it is now lost.
The prelude to Charpentier's setting (H.146 in Hugh Wiley Hitchcock's catalogue) is well known in Europe because it is used as the theme music for the European Broadcasting Union, most notably the Eurovision Song Contest.
Sir William Walton's Coronation Te Deum was written for the coronation of HM Queen Elizabeth II in 1952.
Other English Te Deums have been written, such as the ones by William Byrd, Thomas Tallis, Henry Purcell, three by George Frideric Handel (Utrecht Te Deum, Dettingen Te Deum and Queen's Te Deum) and that of Edward Elgar, his Op.
A version by Father Michael Keating is popular with Charismatics.
Mark Hayes recently wrote his own version of Te Deum, and British composer John Rutter has composed two, one of them is just titled the traditional "Te Deum," the other "Winchester Te Deum."
Igor Stravinsky set the first 12 lines of the text as part of The Flood in 1962.

John Hunter was born in Leith, Scotland.
His parents were William Hunter and Helen Drummond.
He lived for a while with his uncle at Lyn, Norfolk.
He studied music with composer Dr. Charles Burney.
He started studying at the University of Aberdeen so that he could become a minister in the Church of Scotland.
In 1754 he decided to become a sailor and started as the captain's servant in HMS Grampus.
The Grampus was a 14 gun sloop.
By 1755 he was an able seaman in the HMS Centaur, the next year a midshipman on the HMS Union and the HMS Neptune.
These were the flagships of Admiral Charles Knowles.
In 1757 Hunter took part in an attack on Rochefort.
In 1757 he was involved in the attack on Quebec.
Hunter passed his exams in navigation and astronomy in 1760 and qualified to be a lieutenant.
It took until 1780 to get a job as lieutenant.
Hunter was a midshipman with Admiral Durrell on his flagships, the HMS Royal Ann, HMS Princess Amelia and the HMS Royal George.
Durell made Hunter the master's mate in his new ship, the HMS Launceston.
He served in North America and by 1768 was the ship's master.
He served on the HMS Carysfort at Jamaica from 1769 to 1771.
He went to the East Indies on the Intrepid from 1772 to 1774.
He then served in the Kent and the Foudroyant.
He returned to North America and was on the HMS Eagle with Admiral Lord Howe.
With Howe's help and support, Hunter was finally made a lieutenant, 20 years after he passed his exams.
Officer jobs were hard to get; there were more officers on shore on half pay than there were serving on ships.
John Hunter became lieutenant on the HMS Berwick and then on the HMS Victory.
He was made captain of the fireship HMS Spitfire, and in November 1782, the sloop HMS Marquis de Seignelay.
The First Fleet
Hunter was made the second Captain of HMS Sirius (1786), which was to escort the First Fleet taking convicts to settle in Australia.
Governor Arthur Phillip was the first captain, but he was also responsible for all the ships.
Hunter's job was to be in charge of the Sirius.
Hunter was also to become the Governor of Australia if any thing should have happened to Phillip.
After the settlement was set up, Hunter was to return to England in the Sirius.
After the fleet arrived at Botany Bay, Hunter and Phillip went off to find a better site, and then moved the fleet to Port Jackson.
Early days in Sydney
Hunter was involved in survey work around the new settlement and as a judge in the new criminal court.
Both he and the judge advocate, David Collins, found they were unable to work with the Lieutenant Governor, Major Robert Ross.
Hunter was an artist, and kept a sketch book with more than 100 paintings of plants, animals, fish and scenes around Sydney.
Three paintings from John Hunter's sketch book
The words "good" and "bad" are a basic way of talking about value or ethics.
They are often used in different ways to talk about things, people, ideas, or actions as being either good or bad.
Many questions about the concepts of "good" and "bad" are studied by philosophers.
There are many different beliefs about what is good or bad, or about what the two words really mean.
These differences can often be seen in different cultures and religions.
Good for something and good in itself
In philosophy, goodness is generally understood in two main kinds: either a thing is good  or it is good .
For example, eating properly may be good  (provable) but eating properly may not be a good  (unprovable).
This also applies to things that are called bad.
The belief that there are such things as good  and bad  has been a main part of Western philosophy since Plato.
However, some philosophers have rejected this belief.
A relative good is something that is good because people say it is good.
An absolute good is something that is good because of something in itself.
It is good even if there is no one around to see it.
For example, an economist may say that the Mona Lisa is a very valuable economic good because it can be sold for a lot of money.
A philosopher may say that the painting is good because of how it is painted.
The economist sees relative good, because people may later not want to pay for it.
The philosopher sees absolute good, because it will always be painted well.
Good and evil are opposites.
And people have opinions on what things are good and what things are evil.
For example someone might think killing someone is evil and another person thinks it's good (it is evil!
Do not do it!).
The  Catechism of the Catholic Church, or CCC, is an official explanation of the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
It was first published in French in 1992 by the authority of Pope John Paul II.
The volume, which is a book of over 900 pages, has been translated into many other languages, including English.
In 1997, a Latin text was made.
The Latin text is now the official text of reference the contents of the first French text were amended at a few points.
The Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church was published in 2005, and the first edition in English in 2006.
It is a more concise and dialogic (written like a conversation) version of the CCC.
The text is available in twelve languages on the Vatican website, which gives the text of the Catechism itself in eight languages.

The Darling River is Australia's longest river.
It is part of the Murray-Darling river system, one of the largest in the world, drains all of New South Wales west of the Great Dividing Range, much of northern Victoria, southern Queensland and parts of South Australia.
In 1828 the explorer Charles Sturt was sent by the Governor of New South Wales, Sir Ralph Darling, to find the path of the Macquarie River.
He visited the Bogan River and in 1829, the Darling, which he named after the Governor.
In 1835 Major Thomas Mitchell traveled the whole length of the Darling.
The Darling does not have an even flow of water.
It often dries up, and it sometimes floods.
It flows through very dry parts of Australia.
In the 1860's the Darling was used by the farmers of western New South Wales to send their wool by boat paddle steamer from  Bourke and Wilcannia to South Australia where it could be loaded onto trains at Morgan and Murray Bridge.

Kanfen is a village in France near Thionville.
It is in the Lorraine Region, in the Moselle department, in north-eastern France.
The population as of 2007 is about 996.
The first mention of the village is under the name Cantevanne, in a 1239 text.
Later it became Kaufen.
In 1801, it changed to Kanfen.
The name stayed the same when Alsace-Moselle became part of the German Empire in 1870.
The most likely etymology is a contraction of the Gaulish word canto (mountain) and the Germanic radical Fenn (marshland).
History of the commune
Kanfen and all of the Thionville region was dependent of the Duchy of Luxembourg.
Le Grand Condé took Thionville in 1643.
The village became part of the Kingdom of France.
This was confirmed by the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659.
As it was part of Alsace-Moselle, the commune was part of the German Empire from 1871 to 1918.
It was annexed by the Third Reich between 1940 and 1944.
Kanfen is next to the Kudertsberg hill, around 230 metres high.
The river Kiesel has its source in the village flows through it.
The commune is 12 km north of Thionville and 20 km south of the city of Luxembourg.
It is only a few kilometres away from the border with Luxembourg.
Old Castle of the Lord of Kanfen, called Keybourg.
It is now a presbytery where the castle used to be.
Saint-Maurice Church, located in Keybourg.
It was built in 1744 on the side of a hill.

It is where the Rue Volmerange and the Rue de Keybourg cross.
Erasmus Darwin (12 December 1731 – 18 April 1802) was a English scientist, poet, inventor and medical doctor.
He was a member of the Lunar Society (a group of important scientists and businessmen who were friends).
Erasmus Darwin looked at how living things evolved (change over a long time).
His grandson, Charles Darwin, later wrote a book that explained evolution by natural selection.
Erasmus Darwin House, his home in Lichfield, is now a museum dedicated to Erasmus Darwin and his life's work.
A school in nearby Chasetown recently converted to Academy status and is now known as Erasmus Darwin Academy.
Darwin was born in Elston, near Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire.
When Erasmus was a child, he was very interested in nature.
He liked clocks and electricity.
He understood nature well.
He said that people should eat meat during Lent, a Christian time of fasting before Easter when people eat only simple food.
Becoming a physician
He went to the University of Cambridge, and then studied to be a doctor in Edinburgh.
He became a doctor in 1756, and worked in Lichfield in Staffordshire.
He worked hard and learned a lot about medicine.
Soon, lots of people respected him, and the King, George III asked him to become the Royal Doctor, but Erasmus preferred to stay where he was.
Darwin married twice and had 14 children, including two illegitimate daughters by an employee, and, possibly, at least one further illegitimate daughter.
In addition to the five children of his first marriage to Mary Howard (1740–1770), and seven to his second wife, Elizabeth Pole, there are two daughters by the governess Mary Parker, and another probable with a married woman, Lucy Smith.
Darwin formed the Lichfield Botanical Society in order to translate the works of the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus from Latin into English.
This took seven years.
The result was two publications: A System of Vegetables between 1783 and 1785, and The Families of Plants in 1787.
In these volumes, Darwin coined many of the English plant names that we use today.
Darwin then wrote The Loves of the Plants, a long poem, which was a popular rendering of Linnaeus  works.
Darwin also wrote Economy of Vegetation, and together the two were published as The Botanic Garden.
His last long poem, the Temple of Nature, was published after his death, in 1803.
This is considered his best poetic work.
It centers on his own newly conceived theory of evolution, tracing traces the progression of life from microorganisms to civilized society.
Darwin's most important scientific work is Zoönomia (1794–1796), which contains a system of pathology, and a treatise on generation, in which he anticipated some of Lamarck's ideas on evolution.
Darwin's idea of evolution surfaced in several of his other works.
In the Loves of the Plants (1789), reprinted in several editions as The Botanic Garden, there occurs the comment: "Perhaps all the productions of nature are in their progress to greater perfection!".
All these natural history works are in the form of poems, and so they are not satisfactory from the point of view of modern science.
But the 18th century was a time when intelligent men made connections; the specialist types of scientist occurred first in the lifetime of his grandson Charles.
The last two leaves of Darwin's A plan for the conduct of female education in boarding schools (1797) contain a book list, an apology for the work, and an advert for "Miss Parkers School".
The school advertised on the last page is the one he set up in Ashbourne, Derbyshire for their two illegitimate children, Susanna and Mary.
Darwin translated the work of Carolus Linnaeus from Latin to English.
The books explain how plants are classified.
Darwin was friends with many important scientists and businessmen, in the Lunar Society.
Darwin wrote poems against slavery.
He was a generous man, he helped people who had no money.
He wrote poems explaining his ideas about evolution.
He also made many inventions and predicted that electricity and aeroplanes would be useful in the future.
He also made a sketch (simple drawing) of a hydrogen-oxygen rocket engine in 1779.

Kowloon (; ) is one of the 3 main parts of Hong Kong.
It comprises the Kowloon Peninsula and New Kowloon.
With a population of 2.1 million in 2011.
it is the most populous area in Hong Kong.
Geography and History
Kowloon is north of Hong Kong Island and south of the mainland part of the New Territories.
The size of Kowloon is about 47 km² (18 sq mi).
In law, Kowloon refers to the area south of Boundary Street and Stonecutters Island, leased to the United Kingdom by the Qing dynasty in 1860.
In 1898, the Qing dynasty leased the New Territories to the United Kingdom for 99 years.
New Kowloon, the area north of Boundary Street, is officially part of the New Territories.
In modern culture, however, New Kowloon is part of Kowloon.
Kowloon was developed largely in the 20th century, after Kowloon Wharf and Kowloon-Canton Railway were built.
Airplanes used to fly above Kowloon to and from Kai Tak Airport until 1998, so buildings there are usually lower than the ones on Hong Kong Island because they had height restrictions.
The height restrictions were lifted after the opening of the new Hong Kong International Airport in 1998.
The name Kowloon means "nine dragons" (九 – nine, 龍 – dragon).
This refers to eight mountains and a Chinese emperor: Kowloon Peak, Tung Shan, Tate's Cairn, Temple Hill, Unicorn Ridge,  Lion Rock, Beacon Hill, Crow's Nest and Emperor Bing (Song Dynasty).
2,108,419 people lived in Kowloon in 2011.
94.2% of Kowloon's residents are Chinese.
Smaller groups include Indonesians (1.8%), Filipinos (1.5%), Indians (0.5%), Nepalese (0.4%), and White people (0.3%).
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Open University of Hong Kong, and City University of Hong Kong are all located in Kowloon.
There are also many primary and secondary schools as well.
New Territories () is one of the 3 main parts of Hong Kong.
It is between Kowloon and the border between Hong Kong and Mainland China.
It also includes over 200 outlying Islands.
It makes up 85% of Hong Kong's territory, and contains around half of the population of Hong Kong.

A creole language (or a creole) is a language that comes from a pidgin.
Creoles seem very similar to each other, even if they come from different languages.
There is not a widely accepted theory that explains why this happens.

A baseball uniform is clothing that baseball players wear during games.
Like other uniforms, it identifies the group in which they are members, in this case their baseball team.
Most baseball uniforms have the last names and uniform numbers of players who wear them.
The names and numbers are usually on the back to identify each player.
Baseball shirts, pants, shoes, socks, caps, and helmets are parts of the uniform.
Players also wear gloves, but they are not part of the uniform, because players can choose their own gloves.
Most uniforms have different logos and colors to show which team it is.
Baseball uniforms were first worn by the New York Knickerbockers Baseball Club in the 1840s.
Their uniforms were pants made of blue wool, white flannel shirts and straw hats.
Since then, the uniforms have gone through many changes.
More items, ideas, and many other improvements were done and added to these uniforms over the years.
Their style also changed, little by little over time.
On April 4, 1849, the New York Knickerbockers became the first team to use uniforms.
In 1882, different colors that showed the different fielding positions of each player were added on uniforms and stockings (garment covering the foot and lower part of the leg).
In 1888 and 1889, the Detroit Wolverines and Washington Nationals of the National League and the Brooklyn Bridegrooms of the American Association added stripes to their uniforms.
By 1900, all players in Major League Baseball teams were using uniforms.
Home and road uniforms
By the end of the 19th century, baseball teams started wearing two different uniforms.
They wore one uniform when they played in their own baseball stadium (called "home games", "playing at home") and another when they played at another team's baseball stadium ("away or road games", "playing on the road").
It became normal to wear white at home and either gray, solid dark blue, or black colors on the road.
In 1907, the Brooklyn Superbas used a blue pattern for their road uniforms.
The New York Giants later used a pattern almost the same as to what the Brooklyn Superbas used on their road uniforms.
In 1916, on the Giants' uniforms, many purple lines gave them a tartan-like color.
At this time, another kind of road uniform was a solid dark blue or black material with white.
In 1963, Charles O. Finley changed his Kansas City Athletics home and road uniforms.
They were changed to the colors of gold and green.
In the 1970s, some teams used light blue for their road uniforms.
Pinstripes and numbers
Pinstriping (long vertical stripes along uniforms) were created in the 19th century.
They were first worn on some major league baseball team's uniforms in 1907.
The pinstripes were soon widened in 1912, so that people could see them more easily.
Pinstriping was used again when the Brooklyn Bridegrooms started to wear them in 1907, 1916 and 1917.
During that time when the striped uniforms were made again, other things for the baseball uniform were added, such as satin.
The team that often wore pinstripes was the New York Yankees.
They were first used in 1912.
But the Yankees' pinstripes (on their home uniforms) have become a symbol of the Yankees.
Because of that, books about the Yankees started to be made with pinstriped covers.
Numbers were first added to uniforms by the Cleveland Indians in 1916.
In 1929, numbers were first added on the backs of baseball uniforms by the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians baseball teams.
By the 1930s, it was normal for baseball uniforms to have numbers on them.
The Yankees were one of the first baseball teams to wear uniform numbers.
This was because of their normal position in the New York Yankee's batting order (Babe Ruth 3, Lou Gehrig 4, etc.).
By 1932, all major league baseball teams had numbers on their player's baseball uniforms.
The numbers were on the backs of the shirts, with the team name or logo on the front.
But in 1952, the Brooklyn Dodgers were the first team to put numbers on the fronts of baseball uniforms.
As players began to have their own numbers on their uniforms, "retiring" a number of special baseball players started to happen.
While testing new ideas to add to baseball uniforms, new designs and ideas were created.
For example, the Houston Astros of the 1970s and 1980s, added numbers on the fronts of pockets on pants as well as on the back of their shirts.
Shoulder patches on baseball uniforms were worn usually in honor of something.
The first patches to be used on major league uniforms were worn by the Chicago White Sox in 1907.
The first patch to be worn on all 16 major league uniform sleeves in one year was in 1939.
The second time patches were used in all the professional baseball teams, also with the minor leagues, was done in honor of the grand opening of baseball's Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.
The third patch to be worn by all teams, was the rectangular Major League Baseball centennial patch in 1969 in honor of 100 years of professional baseball.
Many of the ballpark anniversaries have also inspired special patches to those who have recently died have been using  patches rather than the traditional black arm bands (an item a person wears) of earlier decades.
Cap styles
From the 1840s to the 1870s, baseball players wore many kinds of hats, such as straw hats.
Caps, or other kinds of headgear with eye shades that protect a player's eyes from the sun, have been a part of baseball uniforms since they were first created.
In 1860, the Brooklyn Excelsiors were the first team to wear what would later become the baseball cap.
Before that, teams often wore full-brimmed straw hats or no cap at all since there was no official rule in baseball about whether players had to wear caps or not.
By the early 1900s, rounded top parts of a hat became the normal fashion.
Other teams would sometimes use the flat-topped cap, such as the Giants in 1916, and the Pittsburgh Pirates in their 1979 World Series championship.
Baseball caps have changed very little in recent decades.
Over time, a bigger sun visor (the front of caps) has been made.
The reason of the cap stays the same: to protect the player's eyes from the sun.
In the late 19th century, baseball players started to wear the soft but long-lasting leather shoes.
Soon, removable spikes were designed and were used many times until 1976, when they were banned from baseball games.
Soon after, white shoes, as well as solid reds and blues, became popular.
As artificial turf was used more in baseball fields, changes to shoes were needed.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, baseball shoes were mostly colored black.
The Kansas City Athletics designed new white shoes in the 1960s.
Stockings
The stocking colors of teams were a way of telling one team from another.
Stockings in 1900 were made of [[wool]] that were high in weight and were made of one-piece at full-length (above the knee).
The foot covering part below the ankle bone was colored white or natural wool.
It often created the illusion of stirrups.
In 1868, the Cincinnati Red Stockings started to play in short trousers so their stockings could be seen.
This led to the team's nickname.
Teams started to be called the Chicago White Stockings or the St. Louis Brown Stockings because of what colored stockings they wore at the time.
Some teams wore "candy cane" stockings instead of stripes during the 1920s; these included the Giants, St. Louis Cardinals and Washington Senators.
Graphics and logos
From the beginning, graphic designs were used to tell different teams apart.
An Old English letter was worn on the fronts of baseball uniforms on the chest.
This style is still being used today by the Detroit Tigers and their Gothic style "D" on their home uniforms.
Road jerseys were able to tell the city the team it is from, as with the Tigers wearing the word "Detroit" on their road uniform shirts meaning the team's home city is Detroit, Michigan.
Some early examples are a small red tiger on the black cap of the uniforms of the Detroit Tigers in 1901, as they were officially the Tigers from the beginning; and a bear cub logo on the Chicago Cubs' uniforms by 1907, as that unofficial nickname later become the official name of the baseball club.
In another famous example, the Boston Americans (an unofficial name that made it easier to tell different teams apart) used the Nationals' red stockings in 1908 since the Nationals did not use them anymore.
They have been called the Boston Red Sox ever since.
Baseball gloves
A baseball glove is a leather glove that baseball players wear.
They are used to catch a baseball that are hit by a batter or thrown by an outfielder.
When baseball gloves were first made, they were not used very much.
Many baseball players who first wore baseball gloves or a type of them were often teased and taunted when they were used.
The first baseball glove to be worn was by catcher Doug Allison in 1870.
Allison's hands were split and cracked open from catching in other games earlier in the week.
