Melanoma survival rates are poorer than for non-melanoma skin cancer, although when melanoma is diagnosed at an early stage, treatment is easier and more people survive.
Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer.
Melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers combined are more common than lung, breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer.
Melanoma is less common than both basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, but it is the most serious — for example, in the UK there were over 11,700 new cases of melanoma in 2008, and over 2,000 deaths.
It is the second most common cancer in young adults aged 15–34 in the UK.
Most cases are caused by over-exposure to UV rays from the sun or sunbeds.
Non-melanoma skin cancers are the most common skin cancers.
The majority of these are basal cell carcinomas.
These are usually small spot growths caused by too much exposure to the sun over time.
They do not usually spread, and rarely kill.

Beriberi (also called vitamin B1 deficiency) is a disease of the nervous system.
It happens when a person does not get enough thiamine (vitamin B1) in their diet.
Thiamine helps the body turn food into energy.
People need thiamine for good brain function and a healthy liver, skin, hair, and eyes.
It also helps the nervous system work properly.
Without enough thiamine, a person’s body cannot create all the energy the person needs.
As a result, people with beriberi have severe lethargy and feel exhausted.
Beriberi can also cause muscles to get weaker.
These symptoms can make it hard for a person to do simple things.
Some people with beriberi have heart problems or even die.
Beriberi can also cause problems with the gastrointestinal system.
Most people get enough vitamin B1 in their regular diet.
However, some groups are more likely to get beriberi.
These include people who drink a lot of alcohol and and people who eat an unhealthy or unbalanced diet, like a diet of mostly white rice.
There are two kinds of beriberi: wet and dry.
Wet beriberi mainly affects the cardiovascular system.
Dry beriberi affects the nervous system.
There is also a rare type of genetic beriberi.
Most of the time, dry beriberi and wet beriberi happen at the same time in the same person.
When this takes place, the victim is likely to only get the symptoms of one beriberi.
Symptoms of dry beriberi
Difficulty in walking
Loss of feelings in the hands and feet
Loss of movement in the legs
Difficulty speaking
Strange eye movements
Tingling feelings on the skin
Symptoms of wet beriberi
Waking up short of breath
Swelling of the legs
Fluid in the lungs
The heart gets bigger

Downs was announcer/sidekick for Tonight Starring Jack Paar from 1957 to 1962, co-host of the NBC News program Today from 1962 to 1971, host of the Concentration game show from 1958 to 1969, and anchor of the ABC News magazine 20/20 from 1978 to 1999.
Downs was born in Akron, Ohio on February 14, 1921.
His career would start in 1945 and since then he had appeared in over 100 television programs and guest star appearances, he retired in 1999.
He was married to Ruth Shaheen from 1944 until her death in 2017.
Downs died on July 1, 2020, in Scottsdale, Arizona from heart failure.
He was 99.
The genus is found throughout the temperate and tropical regions of the world.
Most species live in subtropical and tropical regions.
The genus is rare in cool temperate climates, with only four species native to northern Europe.
Dodder can be identified by its thin stems.
They look leafless, with the leaves reduced to minute scales.
From mid-summer to early autumn, the vines can produce small fruit that take the same color as the vine, and are about the size of a common pea.
It has very low levels of chlorophyll; some species, such as Cuscuta reflexa, can photosynthesize slightly.
Others such as C. europaea are entirely dependent on the host plants for nutrition.
Some flower in the early summer, others later, depending on the species.
The seeds are tiny, and produced in large amounts.
They have a hard coating, and can survive in the soil for 5–10 years or more.
Dodder seeds sprout at or near the surface of the soil.
Germination occurs without a host, but the seedling must reach a green plant quickly.
Dodder grows toward the smell of nearby plants.
If a plant is not reached within 5 to 10 days of germination, the dodder seedling will die.
Before a host plant is reached, the dodder, as other plants, relies on food reserves in the embryo; the cotyledons are very small.
If the host contains food useful to dodder, the dodder produces 'haustoria' that insert themselves into the host.
The original root of the dodder in the soil then dies.
The dodder can grow and attach itself to multiple plants.
In tropical areas it can grow continuously, and may reach high into the canopy of shrubs and trees.
In temperate climates it is an annual plant, restricted to low vegetation that can be reached by new seedlings each spring.
It is  southwest of Adelaide in the state of South Australia.
At its closest point to the mainland, it is  offshore from Cape Jervis.
The island is  long and between  and  wide, its area covering .
Its coastline is  long and highest altitude is .
Wildlife and its protection
More than half of the island has never been cleared of vegetation, and a quarter of it is conserved in National Parks, Conservation Parks, and five Wilderness Protection Areas.
The main protected areas are:
Flinders Chase National Park
Seal Bay Conservation Park
Cape Gantheaume Conservation Park
Cape Bouguer Wilderness Protection Area
Ravine des Casoars Wilderness Protection Area
Because of its isolation from mainland Australia, foxes and rabbits are not there.
People are forbidden to bring them into the island.
Registration and microchipping of cats is complulsory.
The Kangaroo Island kangaroo, Rosenberg's sand goanna, southern brown bandicoot, Tammar wallaby, common brushtail possum, short-beaked Echidna and New Zealand fur seal are native to the island, as well as six bat and frog species.
The sole endemic (found nowhere else) vertebrate species is a small marsupial carnivore called the Kangaroo Island dunnart.
The koala, common ringtail possum and Platypus have been introduced and still survive there.
Kangaroo Island had a native species of emu, the Kangaroo Island emu which became extinct between 1802 and official European settlement in 1836.
Perhaps this was caused by bushfires or hunting by sealers or whalers.
The introduced koalas have flourished so well on the island that their preferred food source, the manna gum tree, is at risk of local extinction.
Koalas have recently been forced to turn to other, less tasty, plants.
Park Management has been searching for a solution.

Hugo LaFayette Black (February 27, 1886 – September 25, 1971) was an American judge and politician.
He was from Ashland, Alabama and studied law at the University of Alabama.
Black was poor as a child and lived simply for most of his life.
Black was in the Army during World War I.  In the 1920s, Black was a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
Black was a member of the U.S. Senate from Alabama from 1927 to 1936 as a Democrat.
Black was a strong supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt for President and his New Deal policies.
In 1937, Roosevelt put Black on the United States Supreme Court.
Black supported many New Deal organizations and programs which his fellow judges wanted to limit or strike down.
Black often believed in interpreting the Constitution exactly as it was written (textualism), against ideas both that judges had the power to re-interpret the meaning in accordance with their time, or that it could be taken as a general guideline that lawmakers should follow but also consider other interests.
One prominent example is the First Amendment, which Black believed to literally protect any form of "freedom of speech" against a law that would "abridge" (meaning to hinder) it, or at least laws prohibiting certain opinions.
He also believed that the Fourteenth Amendment meant this applied to states as well as the federal government, and that states subsequently could not limit free speech and other constitutional liberties anymore than the federal government.
For many years most jurists and judges had believed this.
He also did not believe in the substantive due process doctrine, meaning that the Fourteenth Amendment secured certain implicit rights regarding privacy and so on, which were not written into the constitution but had to be made by judges as they went along.
Black believed that, while the Constitution promised generous liberties, judges should never decide for themselves on which these liberties should be. (
Because of this he also did not believe in things such as natural law, which he called "mysterious".)
This contradiction is uncommon among later judges.
He did not believe in a right to privacy, which is not expressed in the constitution, and voted against one in the case Griswold v. Connecticut.
He did, famously, vote against segregation in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), an important case that began the desegregation of schools.
Black was the fifth longest-serving justice in American history.
He served on the Court for 35 years, one of the very longest tenures, and was the last of president Roosevelt's appointees except William O. Douglas (who served 36 years, the longest).
Black died of a stroke in 1971, which happened two days after he chose to leave the Supreme Court.
One of the most famous judgments Black wrote is called Korematsu v. United States in 1944.
In this case, the majority believed the imprisoning of civilian (non-military) Japanese Americans during World War II was just or at least acceptable, under the circumstances.
This is one of the most controversial verdicts of the Supreme Court in its history and often seen as a stark contrast (meaning opposite) to what he stood for in most other cases.
Abhar is a  city in northwestern Iran.
In the year 2006 there were 55,266 people living there.
There are two living species, found in south-east Asia.
They are also called 'flying lemurs', though they are not lemurs (all lemurs are in Madagascar).
They can glide long distances, as they have a thin membrane stretched to the ends of the tail and each limb.
Colugos live in the tropical rain forests of southeast Asia.
Their diet includes leaves and young shoots.
During the day they rest high in the trees, clinging to trunks or hiding in tree holes.
At dusk they become active, gliding from trunk to trunk like sheets of paper blown on the wind.
The young are carried clinging to the flight membrane.
Colugos range from Burma, Indochina and southern Thailand to peninsular Malaysia, Singapore and the Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Java.
They also occur throughout Borneo.
A second colugo species inhabits the southern Philippines.
A main battle tank (MBT), also called a battle tank, is a tank that is used as the most powerful combat vehicle in modern armies.
They were made to replace the light, medium and heavy tanks used in World War II with just one tank.
Lighter armor made it easier to put bigger guns on tanks without adding weight.
Light tanks are still used in places where heavy ones cannot go.
MBT's are the main force in ground fights but get help from other combat vehicles and soldiers who travel in infantry combat vehicles.
They also get help from observation or attack aircraft.
Medium tanks were the earliest MBTs.
MBTs started replacing medium tanks when guns on medium tanks became powerful enough to win against heavy tanks.
Heavy tanks could not carry armor strong enough to win against medium tanks.
The nuclear weapon threat and other anti-tank weapons in the Cold War made countries add more protection to survive in all types of combat.
Weapon designers made powerful cannons to defeat the armor.
The British Centurion is generally considered to have been the world’s first main battle tank, although the term was not popularised until long after it entered service.
The British followed this up with the Chieftain main battle tank, which entered service in 1966.
The first Soviet main battle tank was the T-64 and the first American MBT was the M60 Patton.
By the late 1970s, MBT's were manufactured by France, West Germany, Britain, India, Japan, the USSR, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States.
The Soviet Union made MBTs very quickly because it needed them for their type of war.
The Soviet Union improved the cannon by replacing the loader crewman with an automatic autoloader.
This made the turret smaller which also makes the tank harder to see or hit The Soviet Union made missiles that could be shot much farther than other ammunition.
After the Cold War, American tanks quickly defeated Iraqi tanks in the Gulf War.
The American MBTs were still not as good as attack helicopters at destroying Iraqi tanks.
Some said that the MBTs could not stop an enemy force from attacking.
Vivekananda (Shami Bibekānondo) (January 12, 1863–July 4, 1902) was the chief disciple of Shri Ramakrishna Paramahansa.
At birth, he was called Narendranath Datta (Bengali: নরেন্দ্রনাথ দত্ত).
He was the founder of Ramakrishna Mission.
He introduced Hindu philosophy of Vedanta and Yoga in Europe and America.
He brought Hinduism to the status of a major world religion during the end of the 19th century.
Vivekananda is considered to be a major force in the revival of Hinduism in modern India.
He is perhaps best known for his inspiring speech beginning with "Sisters and Brothers of America".
Through this he introduced Hinduism at the Parliament of the World's Religions at Chicago in 1893.
Swami Vivekananda was born in Shim-la Pally in Calcutta on 12 January 1863.
He was named Narendranath Datta.
His father Vishwanath Datta was an attorney of Calcutta High Court.
His mother was Bhuvaneshwari Devi.
Narendranath's thinking and personality were influenced by his parents—the father by his rational mind and the mother by her religious temperament.
From his mother he learnt the power of self-control.
Young Narendra was an expert in meditation and could enter the state of samadhi very easily.
He saw a light while falling asleep.
Once he had a vision of Buddha during his meditation.
During his childhood, he had a great fascination for wandering ascetics and monks.
He was also an expert in games and naughty things.
Even in his young age he showed remarkable leadership qualities.
His childhood friend was Kamal Reddy.
In his youth he visited the ramakrishna Samaj and later he came in contact with Sri Ramakrishna.
Sri Ramakrishna initiated him, and after his death Naren left his house and went on to found the Ramkrishna movement
Vivekananda's mission
Born into an aristocratic Bengali Kayastha family of Calcutta, Vivekananda was inclined towards spirituality.
He was influenced by his guru, Ramakrishna, from whom he learnt that all living beings were an embodiment of the divine self; therefore, service to God could be rendered by service to humankind.
After Ramakrishna's death, Vivekananda toured the Indian subcontinent extensively and acquired first-hand knowledge of the conditions prevailing in British India.
He later travelled to the United States, representing India at the 1893 Parliament of the World's Religions.
Ashford Black Marble is a kind of dark limestone, which was mined from Ashford-in-the-Water, in Derbyshire, England.
Once cut, turned and polished, its shiny black surface becomes very beautiful.
Strictly speaking, Ashford Black Marble is not a marble formed by heat, but a smooth sedimentary rock, a hard mass of dusty minerals.
To make art objects, Ashford Black Marble can be cut as materials of them and put together with other fine stones.
Derby Museum has a diagram of Ecton Hill made from Ashford Black Marble and other minerals.
Ashford Black Marble had been used for decorative purpose since the prehistoric age.
Bess of Hardwick was known to use Ashford Black Marble.
Henry Watson played important roles in the development of the local industry of inlaying Ashford Black Marble in the 1750s.
He was the uncle of Derbyshire geologist White Watson, and had a water-powered mill at Ashford in the Water.
Pots, obelisks, and other decorative items of AMB were frequently traded during the late 18th and early 19th century.
John Mawe had a museum in Matlock Bath that dealt in black marble.
Ann Rayner carved Black Marble into pictures using a diamond.
Many art objects of Ashford Black Marble are collected in local institutions, including those of Derby Museum, Buxton Museum, and Chatsworth House.
In 2009, huge blocks of Ashford Black Marble were found underground in Derby.
The auction of these was planed because these blocks are valuable.
The rocks might have been abandoned when an Ashford Black Marble manufacturer moved in the 1880s.
Ashford Black Marble is a kind of limestone which contains some carbon, and its particles are very small.
Its dark color is from bitumen, and once cut and polished, the surface shines.
Manufacturing techniques
Ashford Black Marble can be manufactured into pots, candlesticks and other similar objects, or sawn to make smooth, flat items such as obelisks and paper weights.
Derby Museum and Art Gallery has collections of worked and part-worked items of Ashford Black Marble, acquired from an inlaying workshop owned by the Tomlinson family.
This collection also includes pieces of stones which were cut and ready to put into the black marble background.
Forget-me-not and lily of the valley were typically designed.
Various stones were used with Ashford Black Marble: Greys, blues and purples stones are from Monyash. "
Rosewood" from Nettler Dale in Sheldon is a kind of barytes and has red and white layers.
Castleton Blue John from Crich is a kind of flourspar and has purple and yellow colors. "
Birds-Eye" rock has a design made from the fossils in it. "
Duke's Red" is so valuable that it was stored at Chatsworth House.
The tabletop design illustrated shows some of the combinations described here.
In the late 1780s, Derbyshire geologist White Watson made geological picture boards using Ashford Black Marble into which other local rocks were inlaid.
These boards show layers of rock in different parts of the county.
William Martin was once a partner with Watson, and wrote the first scientific study of fossils.
His Petrifacta Derbiensia says that White Watson's uncle and workers at the Black Marble mine called some of the fossils "crocodile tails", because they thought they were the remains of crocodiles.
In 2006, Buxton Museum bought the Black Marble collection that had been left by John Michael Tomlinson.
He had spent over 50 years to collect them after finding that his ancestors had been involved in Ashford Black Marble manufacturing.

However, there are also other wilderness areas in Tasmania, Tarkine and the Cradle mountain wilderness.
There is also an organisation known as the Tasmanian Wilderness Society.
The World Heritage Area is one of the largest conservation areas in Australia, covering 13,800 km², or almost 20% of Tasmania.
The area constitutes one of the last expanses of temperate wilderness in the world, including the renowned South West Wilderness.
The area became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982, and it was extended in 1989.
It is important for both its natural value but also its cultural values as well.
The Tasmanian Tiger was the largest Dasyuromorphia and the last living specimen of the family Thylacinidae.
The last known specimen died in captivity in 1936.p77 The world's largest surviving carnivorous marsupial is the Tasmanian Devil; it is the size of a small dog and can hunt, although it is mainly a scavenger.p46 It became extinct on the mainland some 600 years ago, and is now found only in Tasmania.p69

Tanzanite is a blue-purple gemstone found in Tanzania, in the Mererani Hills near the city of Arusha and Mount Kilimanjaro.
It is named after the country of Tanzania, where it is found.
It is a kind of a mineral called zoisite.
When it is first mined, tanzanite is usually a red-brown colour.
It needs to be heated to 600 degrees Celsius in a special oven to bring out its purple colour.
The elephant shrew, also called sengi, are any of 16 species of rat-sized African mammals named for their long, tapered, and flexible snout (proboscis).
All have slim bodies, slender limbs, and very long hind legs and feet.
Although they resemble shrews, they are not insectivores but constitute the mammalian order Macroscelidea.
Long thought to be related to shrews, they are actually more closely related to elephants than to shrews although this was not known or even widely believed until the 1990s.
Elephant shrews are terrestrial and are active during the day.
Their ears and eyes are large, and, when alarmed, they run on their toes swiftly along paths they construct and maintain, sometimes leaping over obstacles.
When foraging, they move along the pathways, using their paws and the constantly moving proboscis to turn over leaf litter and soil in search of prey, which consists of small insects (especially ants and termites), other arthropods, and earthworms.
Gestation lasts two months, and litters contain one or two well-developed young.
Hyrax also called dassie is any of four species of thick, herbivorous mammals in the order Hyracoidea, any of six species of small hoofed mammal (ungulates) native to Africa and extreme southwestern Asia.
Hyraxes are well-furred rotund creatures with a short tail.
Most measure between 30–70 cm long and weigh between 2–5 kg.
Hyraxes are mentioned in the Old Testament of the Bible and it is possible that the Hebrew word for hyrax (shafan) is the source of the name of present-day Spain.
Even though hyraxes are not native to Spain, rabbits are, and the theory states that early Hebrew explorers considered the rabbits to be a variety of hyrax.

Absorption is a condition in which something takes in another substance.
It is a physical or chemical phenomenon or  process, in which atoms, molecules, or ions enter in the inner part (called "bulk") of a gas, liquid, or solid material.
This is a different process from adsorption.
Molecules undergoing absorption are going deep into the volume of the material, instead in the case of adsorption molecules stop at the surface of the material.
A more general term is sorption, which covers absorption, adsorption, and ion exchange.
Biology: entry of substances through the skin or other boundaries such as the intestine or cell membrane.

Maria Amalia of Saxony (24 November 1724 – 27 September 1760) was a Duchess of Saxony of the House of Wettin and wife of Charles III of Spain.
Married to the then King of Naples, at the death of her brother in law Ferdinand VI of Spain, she became the queen of Spain.
A cultured woman, she left a considerable architectural legacy in her adopted countries.
She was also one of the shortest reigning queen consorts in Spanish history.
She was born at Dresden Castle in Dresden and was the eldest surviving the daughter of Frederick Augustus II, Elector of Saxony and Maria Josepha of Austria.
She was one of 15 children and was baptised with the names Maria Amalia Christina Franziska Xaveria Flora Walburga.
In 1737 Maria Amalia became engaged to the King of Naples and Sicily, the future Charles III of Spain.
The marriage was confirmed on 31 October 1737.
The following year, 1738, at the age of 14, Maria Amalia married King Charles, on 19 June at Gaeta, a proxy wedding having taken place in May the same year with her brother, Frederick Christian of Saxony representing Charles.
Queen of Naples
The couple resided in Naples and were very content.
This marriage was looked upon favourably by the Holy See and effectively meant the conclusion of the diplomatic disagreement Charles and the See had had.
Festivities lasted till 3 July.
Maria Amalia was a very cultivated woman and played an important role in the construction of the Caserta Palace as well as the Palace of Portici, Teatro di San Carlo, Palace of Capodimonte as well as the Royal Palace of Naples.
She also popularised Neapolitan porcelain at the "Capodimonte Porcelain Manufactory"  in 1743.
Maria Amalia was also a patron of the composer Gian Francesco Fortunati who was a favourite at the Neapolitan court.
She ans Charles eventually had 13 children.
Queen of Spain
At the end of 1758, Charles' half brother Ferdinand VI was displaying the same symptoms of depression that his their father used to suffer from.
Ferdinand lost his devoted wife, Barbara of Portugal in August 1758 and would fall into deep morning for her.
He named Charles his heir on 10 December 1758 before leaving Madrid to stay at Villaviciosa de Odón where he died on 10 August 1759.
Charles was thus proclaimed the King of Spain under the name of Charles III and adicated as King of Naples as he could not join the three kingdoms of Spain, Naples and Sicily.
That same year they left Naples for Madrid, leaving two of their children behind in Caserta.
Her third son became Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies, while his elder brother Infante Charles was groomed in Spain to inherit the Spanish crown.
Her oldest son the Duke of Calabria was mentally retarded and was thus could not inherit the thrones.
Charles and his wife arrived in Barcelona on 7 October 1759.
Residing in Spain, Maria Amalia once again did much to improve the royal residences having them redecorated and founded another porcelain factory at "Buen Retiro".
A popular queen, she died of tuberculosis at the Buen Retiro Palace outside the capital having been a heavy smoker.
She was buried at the Royal Crypt in El Escorial.

17 January 1734 – 19 June 1738 Her Royal Highness Princess Maria Amalia of Saxony, Duchess in Saxony
19 June 1738 – 10 August 1759 Her Majesty The Queen of Naples and Sicily

Maria Luisa was born in Portici, in Campania, the site of the summer palace (Reggia di Portici) of her parents, King Charles, King of Naples and Sicily and Maria Amalia of Saxony.
She was the fifth daughter, and second surviving child, of her parents.
Her father became King of Spain as Charles III in 1759, and she moved with her family to Spain.
Her first cousins included Louis XVI, Maria I of Portugal and Charles Emmanuel IV of Sardinia.
On 16 February 1764 she was married by proxy at Madrid to Archduke Peter Leopold, the second son of Emperor Francis I and Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, and the heir apparent to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
The next year, on 5 August, she married him in person at Innsbruck.
Only a few days later, the death of Emperor Francis made Maria Luisa's husband the new Grand Duke of Tuscany, and the newly married couple moved to Florence, where they would live for the next twenty-five years.
Holy Roman Empress
In 1790, on the death of Peter Leopold's childless brother, Joseph II, Maria Luisa's husband inherited the Habsburg lands in Central Europe, and was shortly thereafter elected Holy Roman Emperor.
Taking the name of Leopold II, the new Emperor moved his family to Vienna, where Maria Luisa took on the role of imperial consort.
Leopold died scarcely two years later, dying on 1 March 1792.
Maria Luisa followed her husband to the grave in less than three months, not living long enough to see her eldest son Francis elected as the last Holy Roman Emperor.
Mozart's opera La clemenza di Tito was commissioned by the Estates of Bohemia as part of the festivities that accompanied the coronation of Maria Luisa and her husband Leopold as king and queen of Bohemia in Prague on  6 September 1791.
In musical circles, Maria Luisa is famous for her putative denigration of Mozart's opera as "German rubbish" ("una porcheria tedesca"), however no claim that she made this remark pre-dates the publication in 1871 of Alfred Meissner's Rococo-Bilder: nach Aufzeichnungen meines Grossvaters, a collection of stories about cultural and political life in Prague in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
