Hurricane Dean was the strongest tropical cyclone of the 2007 Atlantic hurricane season.
It was also the strongest Atlantic hurricane since Hurricane Wilma of 2005.
Also, it made the third strongest Atlantic hurricane landfall.
Dean moved west-northwest from the eastern Atlantic Ocean through the Saint Lucia Channel and into the Caribbean Sea.
It became into a very strong hurricane, reaching Category 5 status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale before moving south of Jamaica on August 20.
The storm moved onto land on the Yucatán Peninsula on August 21 as a Category 5 storm.
It moved across the peninsula and entered the Bay of Campeche, as a weakened storm, but still a hurricane.
It strengthened for a short time before making a second landfall in Veracruz near Tecolutla, Mexico, on August 22.
Dean slowly moved to the northwest, weakening into a low pressure area which dissipated over the southwestern United States.
The hurricane's strong winds, waves, rains and storm surge caused over 45 deaths across ten countries and caused estimated damages of US$1.5 billion.
First impacting the islands of the Lesser Antilles, Dean's path through the Caribbean severely damaged agricultural crops, especially those of Martinique and Jamaica.
When it reached  Mexico, Hurricane Dean was a Category 5 storm, but it missed large cities and its exceptional Category 5 strength landfall caused no deaths and less damage than in the Caribbean islands it passed as a Category 2 storm.
Because of the damage, the name Dean was retired, and will not be used again for a tropical cyclone.

The Amazon Basin is the part of South America drained by the Amazon River and its branches.
It is low-lying in relation to sea level.
The river has its origins high up in the Andes of Peru and Ecuador.
Most of this drainage basin (54%) is in Brazil, including the lower part.
The river also has tributaries from Colombia, Venezuela and
The Amazon rainforest is the largest in the world, covering about 8,235,430 km2 with dense tropical forest.

Bixa orellana (also known as achiote) is a shrub or small tree from the tropical area of the American continent.
The name comes from the Nahuatl word for the shrub, achiotl.
It is also known as Aploppas, and its first Tupi name urucu.
It is grown there and in Southeast Asia, where it was brought by the Spanish in the 17th century.
It is best known as the source of the natural pigment annatto, made from the fruit.
The plant bears pink flowers and bright red spiny fruits which contain red seeds.
The fruits dry and harden to brown capsules.

A chocolate bar is a confectionery made of cocoa beans, cocoa butter, sugar, and milk.
There are many types of chocolate, including milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, peanut butter chocolate, and many more.
Chocolate has a lot of calories, so it can give a person energy.
However, most chocolate also has a lot of sugar.
Chocolate comes from the cacao tree.
Cocoa pods grow on these trees.
They get about as big as a melon.
Once they are ripe, they turn from green to orange.
Then workers can split them open and take out cocoa beans.
Factories use machines to break down the cocoa beans into cocoa butter and chocolate.
Then they add sugar and milk to make the chocolate taste better.
Cocoa farmers are some of the poorest people in the world.
Many of them earn very little money.

Sir William Sterndale Bennett (born Sheffield, 13 April 1816;  died London, 1 February 1875) was a distinguished English composer of the Romantic period.
Bennett's father Robert Bennett, was organist of what is now Sheffield Cathedral.
At the age of three he was an orphan, so he was brought up by his grandfather in Cambridge.
At the age of seven he became a chorister at King's College Chapel Choir.
In 1826 he entered the Royal Academy of Music, where he spent ten years studying.
His piano teachers were W. H. Holmes, Dr William Crotch and later Cipriani Potter
In 1833 he was made organist of St Anne's Church, Wandsworth and in that same year met Felix Mendelssohn who invited him to Germany.
He went there four times, making long tours.
He was  welcomed and admired by famous musicians including Mendelssohn and Robert Schumann.
Schumann later dedicated his Symphonic Studies to Bennett.
He also often performed at the Leipzig Gewandhaus.
Although he knew the works of Bach and Mozart very well, many of his compositions were clearly influenced by Mendelssohn.
As well as being known as one of Europe's most brilliant pianists, his music was well known for its new ideas, excitement and poetic beauty.
His compositions include four overtures, six piano concertos, four symphonies, a chamber trio, sextet, several piano works and two song cycles to be followed later in life by a cello duo, a late Symphony in G minor, a Cantata The May Queen for the opening of Leeds Town Hall in 1858, and an oratorio The Woman of Samaria for the 1867 Birmingham Triennial Music Festival.
Of his 80 published compositions, nearly half are now available on CD, the most popular being the Overture The Naiades Op 15, the Chamber Trio Op 26 and the Piano concerto No 4 in F minor Op 19.
From 1844 for fifteen years he organized the popular Chamber Music Concerts in the Queen's Concert Rooms, Hanover Square in London introducing a number of famous soloists to the British public.
In 1848 he became a founding Director of Queen's College London and in the following year of Bedford College, now part of London University.
In this way he helped women to get equal opportunity in education.
In 1849 he formed the Bach Society (later to be reformed as the Bach Choir) in London to produce and conduct the first English performance of Bach's St Matthew Passion on 6 April 1854.
In 1856 he succeeded Wagner as conductor of the Philharmonic Society Orchestra.
He was the first person to be given their Gold Medal.
In 1866 he was chosen to be Professor of Music at Cambridge University having got an MA and Mus Doc.
From 1866 until his death he was Principal of the Royal Academy of Music.
A scholarship and Prize in his name continues to be awarded to this day.
In 1870 Oxford University gave him an Hon DCL and a year later he was knighted.
Several of his family later became well known in music and theatre.
Bennett left a large music library which is now at the Bodleian Library in collaboration with his great-great-grandson Barry Sterndale-Bennett (b 1939) which continues to be available for research purposes.
For several centuries, it has linked the eastern and western regions of the Indian subcontinent, running from Bengal, across north Republic of India, into Peshawar in Pakistan.
It was built by Sher Shah Suri and is also known as  "Sadak E Sher Shah" named after him.

In computer science, a space-time or time-memory tradeoff is a way of solving a problem or calculation in less time by using more storage space (or memory), or by solving a problem in very little space by spending a long time.
Most computers have a large amount of space, but not infinite space.
Also, most people are willing to wait a little while for a big calculation, but not forever.
So if your problem is taking a long time but not much memory, a space-time tradeoff would let you use more memory and solve the problem more quickly.
Or, if it could be solved very quickly but requires more memory than you have, you can try to spend more time solving the problem in the limited memory.
The most common condition is an algorithm using a lookup table.
This means that the answers for some question for every possible value can be written down.
One way of solving this problem is to write down the entire lookup table, which will let you find answers very quickly, but will use a lot of space.
Another way is to calculate the answers without writing down anything, which uses very little space, but might take a long time.
A space-time tradeoff can be used with the problem of data storage.
If data is stored uncompressed, it takes more space but less time than if the data were stored compressed (since compressing the data decreases the amount of space it takes, but it takes time to run the compression algorithm).
Larger code size can be used to increase program speed when using loop unwinding.
This technique makes the program code longer for each iteration of a loop, but saves the computation time needed for jumping back to the beginning of the loop at the end of each iteration.
In the field of cryptography, using space-time tradeoff, the attacker is decreasing the exponential time required for a brute force attack.
Rainbow tables use partially precomputed values in the hash space of a cryptographic hash function to crack passwords in minutes instead of weeks.
Decreasing the size of the rainbow table increases the time required to iterate over the hash space.
The meet-in-the-middle attack attack uses a space-time tradeoff to find the cryptographic key in only  encryptions (and  space) compared to the expected  encryptions (but only  space) of the normal attack.

S-boxes substitute or transform input bits into output bits.
A good S-box will have the property that changing one input bit will change about half of the output bits.
It will also have the property that each output bit will depend on every input bit.
P-boxes permute or rearrange bits across S-box inputs.
In addition, at each round the key is combined using some group operation, typically XOR.

Carnivorous plants are plants which get nutrients from trapping and eating animals.
They are often called insectivorous plants, because they usually trap insects.
Since they get some of their food from animals, carnivorous plants can grow in places where the soil is thin, or poor in nutrients.
This is true for soils with little nitrogen, such as acidic bogs and rock outcrops.
Charles Darwin wrote the first well-known book on carnivorous plants in 1875.
This ability of plants to catch animals is true carnivory.
There are more than twelve genera in five families.
These include about 625 species that attract and trap prey, produce digestive enzymes, and use their nutrients.
In addition, there are more than 300 species in several genera that show some but not all of these characteristics.
These are usually called protocarnivorous plants.
Trapping mechanisms
Insectivorous plants have leaves that are made like pitchers or bladders which catch insects.
Today, five different ways of trapping are known
Pitfall traps (pitcher plants) trap prey in a rolled leaf that has a pool of digestive enzymes or bacteria.
Flypaper traps use sticky mucilage.
Snap traps use rapid leaf movements.
Bladderworts suck in prey with a bladder that produces an internal vacuum.
Lobster-pot traps force prey to move towards a digestive organ with inward-pointing hairs.
These traps are all classified as active or passive.
Triphyophyllum is a liana (a climber in tropical forests).
It has three types of leaves.
When needed, it puts out long leaves.
These are passive 'flypapers' which hide mucus.
The leaves of the plant do not grow or move as a response to moving prey.
The Sundew Drosera, on the other hand, is an active flypaper.
All species of Sundew are able to move their sticky tentacles in response to a contact.
The tentacles are very sensitive and will bend toward the center of the leaf in order to bring the insect into contact with as many stalked glands as possible.
According to Darwin, the touch of legs of a small gnat with a single tentacle is enough to cause this response.
This helps the catch and digestion of prey.
The Venus flytrap, Dionaea muscipula, is one of a very small group of plants able to move fast.
When an insect or spider crawls along the leaves and touches a hair, the trap closes only if a different hair is contacted within twenty seconds of the first touch.
The two-touch trigger avoids wasting energy on objects with no food value.
Borderline cases
A carnivorous plant must attract, kill and digest prey.
It must then also benefit from digesting the prey.
In most cases, this will yield amino acids and ammonium ions.
There are some cases, where plants catch the prey, but they do not digest it.
Rather, they have a symbiosis with another organism, which feeds on the prey.
One such case is the species of the sundew Roridula, which forms a symbiosis with the assassin bug.
The bugs eat the trapped insects.
The plant benefits from the nutrients in the bugs' faeces.
Few fossil carnivorous plants have been found, and then usually as seed or pollen.
Carnivorous plants are generally herbs, without wood or bark.
True carnivoury has probably evolved independently at least six times.
Some think all trap types have a similar basic structure—the hairy leaf.
Hairy leaves do catch and hold drops of rainwater, which helps bacterial growth.
Insects land on the leaf, are caught by the surface tension of the water, and suffocate.
Bacteria start to decay the insect, and release nutrients from the corpse.
The plant then absorbs the nutrients through its leaves.
This 'leaf feeding' can be found in many non-carnivorous plants.
Plants that were better at holding water and insects therefore had a selective advantage.
Rainwater can be retained by cupping the leaf, leading to pitfall traps.
Alternatively, insects can be caught by making the leaf stickier, leading to flypaper traps.

Fazilka () is a city and a municipal council in Ferozpur District of the Punjab (India), 11 km from Pakistan border.
The flag of Azerbaijan () is one of the national symbols of Azerbaijan and consists of three equal horizontal bands, from top: blue, red, and green; a white crescent and an eight-pointed star (Rub El Hizb) are centered in the red band.
The eight points of the star stand for the  branches[?]
of the Turkic peoples .
The blue band is the colour of the Turks.
the green is for Islam and red is for progress and Europeanisation.
The official colours and size were adopted on February 5, 1991.
The flag is used on land as the civil, state and war flag, and at sea as the civil, state and naval ensign and naval jack.
The specific shades of the national flag were laid out in a 2004 law.
Flags of Azerbaijan
The Coat of arms of Azerbaijan mixes traditional and modern symbols.
This symbol comes from the fact that Azerbaijan has many everlasting fires which also gives the name "land of eternal fire".
These colors are found in the background behind the eight pointed star (۞ Rub El Hizb) upon which the flame is shown.
The star itself stands for the eight branches of the Turkic peoples, and between each point of the star, there is a smaller eight pointed star found.
Like other post-Soviet republics whose arms do not predate the October Revolution, the current arms retains some components of the Soviet one.
At the bottom of the emblem is a stalk of wheat, representing the main agricultural product of the nation, which was also part of the earlier arms.
The other plant represented at the bottom is oak.

In computer science, a lookup table is a data structure, usually an array or associative array, used to replace a runtime computation (calculation) with a simple array indexing operation.
The main purpose is in saving run time since retrieving a value from memory is often faster than undergoing a time consuming computation (see Space-time tradeoff).
Lookup tables are also used to validate input values by matching against a list of valid (or invalid) items in an array.
Roquefort is a commune in the Lot-et-Garonne department in south-western France.
Roquefort-sur-Soulzon is a commune of 691 people (2007).
It is in the region Midi-Pyrénées in the Aveyron department in the south of France.

The avalanche effect (“landslide effect”) is a property of block ciphers and cryptographic hash function algorithms.
It is often desired in cryptography.
The effect says that a lot of the output must change, even when the input changes only a little.
In good block ciphers this means: A small change in the key or the plaintext should cause a strong change in the ciphertext.
This means that small changes can spread fast, when the algorithm uses iterations.
Thus, every bit of the output depends on every bit of the input.
The term avalanche effect was first used by Horst Feistel (Feistel 1973).
Later, the concept was identified by Shannon's property of confusion.
If a block cipher or cryptographic hash function does not satisfy the avalanche effect to a significant degree, then it has poor randomization.
Thus, a cryptanalyst can make forecasts about the input, if given only the output.
This may be sufficient to partially or completely break (crack) the algorithm.
It is one of the primary design objectives when people create a strong cipher or cryptographic hash function.
They try to build a good avalanche effect in it.
Mathematically this uses the butterfly effect.
The name comes from landslides.
A small rock can fall down, go along with some snow and make a destructive landslide.
The rock was small, but was able to cause a lot of destruction.
This is the same as what this effect does.
A small change in the input (the rock) should change the output (the landscape).
Strict avalanche criterion
The Strict Avalanche Criterion (SAC; a “strong landslide criterion”) is a property of boolean functions.
It is of importance to cryptography.
It is satisfied if all output bits change with a probability of 50 percent, if a single input bit is changed.
The SAC was built on the concepts of evolution completeness and avalanche.
It was introduced by Webster and Tavares in 1985.
Nowadays it is a requirement for every modern cryptographic system.
It was e.g. satisfied by all finalists of the AES competition.
Bit independence criterion
The Bit independence criterion (BIC; a criterion independent from the bit) is a criterion.
It goes: When a single input bit is changed (inverted), two output bits should change independently of each other.
This applies to all bits.
It would e.g. not be satisfied, if the one output bit only changes, when the other output bit also changes.
They might only change, because the input bit changed.
Otherwise, the output bits would depend on each other.

Barrel is an old English word for a big holder of liquids, such as petrol, beer, wine or oil.
Barrels are most commonly made of either wood or metal but many are plastic
Barrels are used to age wine, and other beverages such as whisky and beer.
Most of those are made of oak wood.
A barrel is also used to measure liquids.
One barrel of oil is 158.987 litres (42 US gallons).
It is shortened as "bbl".
This use may have come from the early Pennsylvanian oil fields where wooden barrels were used to store and move oil around.
In 1866, the people of West Virginia started using it regularly.
At this time, the amount was set to 42 American gallons.
It was later world-wide for measuring amounts of oil and pricing it.
Today, oil is rarely stored or transported in actual barrels, but the term "barrel" is still used to mean a 42-gallon measurement.
A barrel can also be used to measure dry goods.
For example, a barrel can mean 196 pounds (about 89 kilograms) of flour.
The size of some standard barrels is not the same in all countries.
Some countries have different sizes for different liquids.
In the United Kingdom, there is a standard barrel for beer.
It is 36 imperial gallons (163.659 litres).
In the United States, a standard barrel for liquids is 31.5 US gallons (about 119.2 litres).
For beer, the standard barrel is 31 US gallons (117.348 litres), because of tax laws.
A physical metal barrel for oil or chemicals usually holds 55 US gallons (208.198 litres), but the word "barrel" used as a measurement refers to a 42-gallon measurement.
The first people to start using barrels were the Celts about 350 BC.
The Roman Empire started using barrels after trading with the Celts.
Barrels remained popular for shipping items until the 20th century.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua is a 2008 movie by Walt Disney Pictures directed by Raja Gosnell.
The first preview of the movie was seen next to The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, and originally the movie was stanted for a September 26, 2008 release, but the release was moved to October 3.
The story is about a chihuahua who gets dognapped in Mexico and has to escape from an evil Doberman.
Destino, a 2003 short movie made by Walt Disney Pictures based on an idea started by Walt Disney and Salvador Dalí in the 1940s, was thought to be seen before Beverly Hills Chihuahua, but this didn't happen.
Insteed, a sneak-peek of the Disney movie Bolt was seen.
The movie is about a spolied chihuahua from  Beverly Hills named Chloe (voiced by Drew Barrymore).
Her owner, "Aunt Viv" (Jamie Lee Curtis), has to go to Italy, so she leaves Chloe with her niece, Rachel Ashe Lynn (Piper Perabo).
Rachel and her friends go on vacation to Mexico, and Chloe gets dognapped by  an evil Mexican dognapper who at first wants to use her in dog fights but sees her value and wishes to put her at randsome (have the owners have to pay money to get her back).
In the meantime, Papi (voiced by George Lopez), a male chihuahua who is in love with her is on the lookout for her.
Chloe makes friendship with a lonely German Shepherd named Delgado (voiced by Andy Garcia) who travels with her to protect her from the evil Doberman (voiced by Edward James Olmos) who wants to kill her and steal her diamond collar to return it to the dognapper who owns him.

The in-house visual effects supervisor is Matt Johnson.
The music to Beverly Hills Chihuahua was written by composer Heitor Pereira, who recorded the score with the Hollywood Studio Symphony at the Eastwood Scoring Stage at Warner Brothers.
Beverly Hills Chihuahua earned $29 million USD in its opening weekend.
It was #1 in the box office for two weeks.
Despite this, the movie was rather poorly received by critics.

Destruction is a thrash metal band from Lörrach in Germany.
They have been playing since 1982.
Together with Kreator and Sodom they form the "triangle of German thrash metal".
Banksy is a British street and graffiti artist.
He likes to remain anonymous and not let people know his true identity.
He often draws in high visibility public places such as on buildings or train stations.
His paintings are often about politics, war and other important topics.
His satirical street art and mind-hurting pictures combine dark humour with graffiti.
The graffiti is done with a stencilling technique.
Such works have been done on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world.
Banksy's work started in the Bristol underground scene, which had collaborations between artists and musicians.
According to graphic designer Tristan Manco and the book Home Sweet Home, Banksy "was born in 1974 and raised in Bristol, England.
The son of a photocopier technician, he trained as a butcher but became involved in graffiti during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980s".
His style is similar to Blek le Rat, who began to work with stencils in 1981 in Paris, and to members of the anarcho-punk band Crass, which did a graffiti stencil campaign on the London Underground system in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Banksy displays his art on public surfaces such as walls and even going as far as to build physical prop pieces.
He does not sell photos of street graffiti directly himself.
However, art auctioneers have been known to attempt to sell his street art on location and leave the problem of its removal in the hands of the winning bidder.
Banksy's first movie, Exit Through the Gift Shop, billed as "the world's first street art disaster movie," made its debut at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
The movie was released in the UK on 5 March 2010.
In January 2011, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary for the movie.
There have been numerous rumours as to Banksy's identity.
Names often suggested include Robert Banks and Robin Gunningham.
In 2004 an alleged photograph of him in Jamaica surfaced.
In October 2007 the BBC website featured a photo allegedly taken by a passer-by in Bethnal Green, London, purporting to show Banksy at work with an assistant, scaffolding and a truck.
From the pictures, Banksy's identity was thought to be Robin Gunningham, a man born in Bristol on 28 July 1973.
Gunningham was educated at Bristol Cathedral Choir School and Leicester Polytechnic, now De Montfort University, and according to a former friend, was "extremely talented at art".
Lived with artist Luke Egan.
Around 2000, when Banksy moved from Bristol to London, Gunningham is known to have moved from Bristol to a London flat in Hackney, and a number of Banksy's most famous works appeared nearby.
