Trichomoniasis (often called trich) is a sexually transmitted disease.
It is caused by a parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis, which is a protozoa made of just one cell.
Trichomoniasis can affect both men and women.
It is usually an infection of the urinary system and genitals.
The Trichomonas vaginalis parasite can only live in the human genital tract.
Trichomoniasis is only spread through sex, or if two people's genitals touch.
When people do have symptoms, they usually start about 5 to 28 days after the person got infected.
Pain, burning, or itching in the urethra (urethritis), the vagina (vaginitis), or the penis
Pain while having sex (dyspareunia)
Women may have a yellow-green, badly-smelling vaginal discharge
Lower abdominal pain (this does not happen often)
Complications are serious problems that can happen because a person has a disease.
These problems do not happen to everyone with trichomoniasis.
They are the most serious problems that trichomoniasis can cause.
Some of the most dangerous problems that can happen to a person with trichomoniasis include:
People with trichomoniasis are more likely to get (or spread) HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
If a woman is pregnant, trichomoniasis can cause her to have a premature infant, or an infant that weighs less than normal.
Trichomoniasis may work together with human papillomavirus (HPV) to cause cervical cancer, although this has not been proven.
In men, trichomoniasis can cause inflammation (swelling) of the urethra and the prostate.
In the prostate, trichomoniasis may create chronic (long-term) inflammation that may eventually cause prostate cancer.
Treatment for trichomoniasis is usually metronidazole (Flagyl), which kills protozoa like Trichomonas vaginalis.
However, this medication has to be used carefully with woman who are in the early stages of pregnancy.
Anyone the infected person has had sex with should also get treatment, even if they have no symptoms.
Without treatment, trichomoniasis can stay in a woman's body for months to years.
In many (but not all) men, it seems to go away on its own.
How common is trichomoniasis?
Trichomoniasis is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the world that is not caused by a virus.
Every year, about 248 million more people get trichomoniasis.
It is more common in women than men.
It is also the most common non-viral sexually transmitted disease in the United States.
In the U.S., about 3.7 million people have trichomoniasis, and about 1.1 million more people get infected every year.
Recent research has said that 3% of the U.S. population (3 in every 100 people) have trichomoniasis.
In people who are at higher risk of getting trichomoniasis, like people with HIV and people in prison, between 7.5% to 32% are infected.
Francisella tularnsis is the bacterium causing the serious zoonotic disease tularemia.
The bacterium is gram-negative, and the causative agent of tularemia or rabbit fever.
Due to its ease of spread by aerosol and its high virulence it is classed as a potential bioterrorism agent.
Manilkara, previously known as Sapota, are plants in the family of :Sapotaceae.
They are commonly known as Manilkara trees.
An important species is Manilkara Chicle, a tree used to make chewing gum.
Manilkara zapota is known as the common Sapodilla.
Leaves form distinct rosettes at the ends of branches and short lateral shoots, obovate, leathery, glossy green above, paler below.
Flowers are greenish-yellow, in small clusters under the new leaves.
Schistosomiasis, also known as snail fever and bilharzia, is a disease caused by parasitic flatworms called schistosomes.
The urinary tract or the intestines may be infected.
Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stool, or blood in the urine.
Those who have been infected for a long time may experience liver damage, kidney failure, infertility, or bladder cancer.
In children, it may cause poor growth and learning difficulty.
The disease is caused by contact with fresh water containing the parasites.
These parasites are from infected freshwater snails.
The disease is very common among children in developing countries, as they are more likely to play in water.
Other high-risk groups include farmers, fishermen, and people using unclean water.
It is a helminth infections.
Eggs of the parasite may be found in urine or stool.
Antibodies may also be found in the blood.
To prevent the disease use clean water and reduce snails.
The medicine praziquantel may be given once a year to everybody.
This will decrease the number of people infected.
Praziquantel is also the treatment recommended by the World Health Organization for those who are known to be infected.
Schistosomiasis affected about 252 million people in 2015.
An estimated 4,400 to 200,000 people die from it each year.
The disease is mainly found in Africa, Asia, and South America.
About 700 million people, in more than 70 countries, live where the disease is common.
In tropical countries, schistosomiasis causes a great economic problem.
Schistosomiasis is listed as a neglected tropical disease.
Nyctaginaceae, the four o'clock family, has about 33 genera and 290 species of flowering plants.
It grows in tropical and subtropical regions, with a few representatives in temperate regions.
It includes plants like the Bougainvillea and the four o'clock.
Most of the species are vines.
The family has a unique fruit type, called an "anthocarp".
Many genera have extremely large (>100 µm) pollen grains.
A curious aspect of M. jalapa, the four o'clock, is that flowers with different colours grow simultaneously on the same plant.
A Rubik's Revenge is a 4x4 Rubik's Cube.
It has 24 centers, 24 edges, and 8 corners.
It was made by Peter Sebestény.
Unlike the Rubik's Cube, the centers can move to different places.
Ways to solve
There are different ways to solve a Rubik's Revenge.
One way is to solve the centers, and then the edges.
Then, you can solve it like a 3x3.
But, special problems can happen.
2 edges flipped wrong, or 2 sets of edges could be swapped from each other.
These problems are called parity errors.
It can still be solved, but special moves must be done to solve it.
Another way is to solve the edges first, then the centers.
But, it is also possible to get parity errors.
There are ways to solve a Rubik's Revenge without getting parity errors.
One way is to solve the corners and edges first, then the centers.
How to solve a Rubik's Revenge
was a 14th century samurai from Kawachi Province.
He fought for Emperor Go-Daigo.
The warrior's  conduct and death are recognized as examples of bushido.
Battle planner
Kusunoki was a brilliant tactician and strategist.
He defended two key Loyalist fortresses at Akasaka and Chihaya.
This helped Go-Daigo to briefly return to power.
However, one of the loyalist generals, Ashikaga Takauji, betrayed Go-Daigo.
Ashikaga led an army against Kusunoki and the remaining loyalists.
Kusunoki suggested to the Emperor that they hide on sacred Mount Hiei and allow Takauji to take Kyoto.
Later, they could move quickly down from the mountain to trap Ashikaga and destroy him.
Go-Daigo would not leave the capital.
He insisted that Kusunoki meet Ashikaga's larger army forces in the field in a direct battle.
Kusunoki obediently accepted his Emperor's foolish command.
This became a great example of loyalty.
He left his death poem with his young son Masatsura and knowingly marched his army into almost certain death.
The battle took place at Minatogawa in modern-day Chūō-ku, Kobe.
It was a tactical disaster.
Kusunoki had only 73 of the original 700 horsemen left and was surrounded.
He committed suicide along with his brother Masasue, 11 close clan members, and 60 others.
According to legend, his brother's last words were Shichisei Hōkoku! (
七生報國; "Would that I had seven lives to give for my country!")
and Kusunoki Masashige agreed.
Kusunoki Masashige's son, Kusunoki Masatsura, served the next emperor, the 12-year old Go-Murukami.
These two had a trusting relationship like their fathers.
Masatsura died alongside his brother Masatoki and cousin Wada Takahide in battle.
That was the end of the Kusunoki clan.
Kusunoki Masashige's successful defense of Chihaya castle is believed to have helped the emperor gain power against the Kamakura bakufu.
Kusunoki held out so long in his castle, so Ashikaga Takauji changed sides and helped the emperor.
The Kamakura bakufu ended.
However, Ashikaga Takauji quickly learned that he did not like following the emperor's commands.
He changed loyalty again and established his own Ashikaga bakufu.
He was able to establish his own shogunate after defeating Kusunoki Masashige and the commander in chief Yoshisada in the final battle.
Kusunoki Masashige tried to bring Ashikaga Takauji back to the emperor's side, but the emperor rejected this plan.
Kusunoki's life and death are an important part of the historical narrative which is recorded in the Taiheiki.

The Afsharid dynasty (Persian: افشاریان‎) was an Iranian dynasty that originated from the Afshar Turkoman tribe  in Iran's north-eastern province of Khorasan, ruling Iran (Persia) in the mid-eighteenth century.
The dynasty was founded in 1736 by the brilliant military commander Nader Shah, who deposed the last member of the Safavid dynasty and proclaimed himself as the Shah of Iran.
At its height it controlled modern-day Iran, Armenia, Georgia, parts of the North Caucasus (Dagestan), Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and and parts of Iraq and Afghanistan, Pakistan.
After his death, most of his empire was divided between the Zands, Durranis, Georgians, and the Caucasian khanates, while Afsharid rule was confined to a small local state in Khorasan.
Finally, the Afsharid dynasty was overthrown by Mohammad Khan Qajar in 1796, who would establish a new native Iranian empire and restore Iranian suzerainty over several of the aforementioned regions.
The dynasty was named after the Turcoman Afshar tribe from Khorasan in north-east Iran, to which Nader belonged.
The Afshars had originally migrated from Turkestan to Azerbaijan (Iranian Azerbaijan) in the 13th century.
In the early 17th century, Shah Abbas the Great moved many Afshars from Azerbaijan to Khorasan to defend the north-eastern borders of his state against the Uzbeks, after which the Afshars settled in those regions.
Nader belonged to the Qereqlu branch of the Afshars.

The Digital Living Network Alliance is a trade-association, which was established by Sony in 2003.
As of 2011, over 250 companies are part of this organization.
The idea of the association is to develop standards and technologies that make it possible that several devices at home interact, so that the consumer has a better feeling.
An example might be a television, that can be used to play a film on a computer, or to show photos stored on a mobile phone.
Technology organizations
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a way to make many copies of a sequence of DNA (this is sometimes called 'amplifying' the DNA).
It is done in a lab, using an enzyme called DNA polymerase.
It is called chain reaction because the result of one cycle is used immediately for the next cycle.
This allows exponential growth to happen.
PCR has many uses in a biological or biochemical setting.
Because DNA is unique for every living thing, experimenters can often extract only small amounts of the DNA they are interested in from a specimen.
These amounts are usually too little to be useful, and so a scientist will use PCR to make enough copies to start experimenting with.
For this reason, it is one of the most common techniques used in genetics labs around the world, making it useful in experiments on many things, including gene therapy, infectious diseases, and even forensics.
This process was developed in 1983 by Kary Mullis.
He was not the first person to develop the PCR process, but he was the first  to make the process usable.
He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry  for his work in the PCR process.
It was a joint award, the other scientist being Michael Smith, who worked on a related project.
PCR procedure
The method consists of repeated heating and cooling, causing "melting" (separation of the two strands) and replication of the original DNA, also called a template.
Short DNA fragments consisting of DNA sequences complementary to the ends of the template, called primers, and a DNA polymerase are key materials for selective and repetitive steps.
denaturation — The template strands that are bound together cannot be replicated, so the first step of PCR is to separate them by heating up the sample, breaking the hydrogen bonds between them.
annealing — The sample is cooled just enough to allow the primers to bind to the ends of each of the two template strands
extension — DNA polymerase attaches to the primers and makes a copy of each template strand.
After the first cycle, there are 4 DNA strands.
The process repeats with the 4 DNA strands, which will go on to make 8 strands, then repeat itself again to make 16 strands.
In this way, PCR doubles the amount of DNA in a sample after each cycle, making it possible to obtain millions of copies of a DNA strand overnight.

A Jejemon (tl: ) is a type of person in the Philippines who makes the English language hard to read.
The Philippine Daily Inquirer call them different but happy because of their language and clothes.
The word Jejemon came from people who like to write "hehehe" as "jejeje"  because "jeje" is Spanish for hehe due to the sound J makes in Spanish. "
-Mon" is added at the end.
This is from the Japanese anime Pokémon. "
-Mon" means "monster."
They are "jeje-monsters."
Jejemons started to appear because of cellphones.
Cellphones can only use 160 characters so people who use them write shorter words to save space.
Jejemons don't want this so they made their words longer.
Most Jejemons are poor.
People who are Jejemons are described based on levels.
These are "mild," "moderate", "severe", or "terminal."
Jejenese and Jejebet
Jejemons speak Jejenese based on Taglish and Englog.
The spelling is the same as Leetspeak.
Facebook fan pages were made in support and against the group.
Celebrities have condemned some attacks.
Jejebusters were created to fight jejetyping and jejemons.
The Department of Education of the Philippines (DepEd) discourages students from using Jejemon spelling and grammar.
Swardspeak (or Chuva) is a secret language that came from the mixed language with the names Taglish and Englog.
It is used by gay people in the Philippines.
Swardspeak uses word from Tagalog, English, Spanish, Cebuano, Japanese, Sanskrit, and other languages.
Gay people use Swardpeak to make themselves feel special.
The language changes a lot.
People who use the language are called Bekimons.
This word is from the words bakla (gay) and Jejemon.
The word "Swardspeak" came from the 1970's book called "Swardspeak: A Preliminary Study". "
Sward" is slang for "gay male" in the Philippines.
It changes a lot and the meaning of words are hard to know.
The rules are explained below.
The first sound changes to the letter "J" or "Sh" or to the sounds "Jo-", "Sho-", "Ju-", "Shu-", "Ky-", or "Ny-".
The last sound changes to "-ash", "-is", "-iz", "-ish", "-itch", "-ech", "-ush", or "-oosh" as a suffix.
Changing "a", "o", or "u" sounds with "or", "er", or "ur", especially with "l".
Changing places of letters in a word.
Used mostly in Cebuano swardspeak.
Puns,  code-switching, onomatopoeic  Anglicization of words.
Words from popular culture, mostly celebrities or TV shows.
Based the things they were famous for, because parts of the words rhyme, or both.
From other languages like Japanese.
Tagalog nursery rhyme "Ako ay may lobo" (I Have a Balloon) into Swardspeak.
Tagalog nursery rhyme "Bahay Kubo" (Nipa Hut) into Swardspeak.

It is part of the Tōhoku region of the island of Honshu.
The capital city is Sendai.
Miyagi Prefecture used to be part of Mutsu Province.
That province was in the northern part of Honshu.
It was made from land taken from the indigenous Emishi.
The province became the largest as it expanded to the north.
The ancient capital was in modern Miyagi Prefecture.
During the Sengoku period, various clans ruled different parts of the province.
Date Masamune was a close ally of the Tokugawa.
He established Sendai, which is now the largest town of the Tōhoku region.
In the Meiji period, four new provinces were created from parts of Mutsu: Rikuchū, Rikuzen, Iwaki, and Iwashiro.

Kallima, also known as the Oakleaf or Dead leaf butterflies, is a genus of butterflies of the family Nymphalidae.
They are found Asia.
Their common name is a reference to the under surface of their wings, which is various shades of brown.
When the wings are held closed, this results in a remarkable similarity to a dead leaf.
There are dark dots or  patches which look like the effects of fungi and lichen, which are so common on dead leaves.
The camouflage is perfected by the rear wings, which have a little 'tail', which looks like the stalk of a leaf.
When at rest in closed position, the 'tail' touches the branch, completing the illusion.
There are two morphs of the common Indian species Kallima inachus.
Nothing seems to be known about why these morphs exist.
There is also variation in the colour of the under surfaces.

Impression management is an idea spoken about in the discipline of sociology.
It is about the experience in everyday life where people control the way that they appear to others.
People do this by selecting certain gestures, speech patterns, feminine or masculine expressions, as well as certain expressions of class and cultural interest.
This so that people can give a particular image to others about who they want to be and how they want to be seen.
When gesturing a person might use reserved and minimal movements in a professional setting, whilst they may smile widely and wave about when with friends.
A person might also change their speech pattern in a professional setting in order to sound more educated or refined, and may speak more casually or use swear words when in a casual setting.
Males and females also often control how they are perceived in terms of masculinity or femininity.
Boys and men might sometimes make their voices sound deeper or speak in short sentences to reflect an old stereotype that males are unfeeling and unconcerned with self-expression.
Females on the other hand might feel the need to speak in line with the speech patterns of their peers, and this may include tacking on culturally specific phrases like "or whatever" and "that's hot/cute" to indicate they identify with the female gender and traditional interests.
These of course are very simple ideas about what it means to be a man or woman.
In contemporary life the border between male and female is sometimes becoming less strict.
In Western societies psychologists support that people who show alternative gender expression are still medically normal.
People also talk about what kind of music they are interested in, what kind of movies they like to watch, and what kind of places they like to visit in order to give people an idea of where they stand in relation to class and culture.
A common distinction in contemporary youth culture is the listening to so called "indie" alternative or independent music as opposed to pop or popular music.
Similarly someone might say they like watching highbrow French films or award winning films, as opposed to something more mass culture, like a Disney movie.

The Boxer Rebellion was an uprising that occurred within China in the years 1900 and 1901 (from on 2 November 1900 to 7 September 1901).
It was led by the Boxers, a group of Chinese citizens who disliked the vast amount of foreign influence that existed in China.
The Foreigners in China
It happened during a time when many foreign countries scrambling for concessions in China in the aftermath of the first Sino-Japanese war.
These countries were Japan, Britain, Germany, and Russia.
China had lost the First Sino-Japanese war a few years earlier over Korea.
The Boxers
The Boxers were Chinese citizens who were angry about the growing power of foreigners in China, who wanted to fight and drive out all foreigners and even some Chinese people.
The Boxers got a lot of people to help them and drove their fight to Peking (Beijing).
The interior inner city of Beijing was known as the Tartar city because it was majority Manchu and half of all Manchus in the Qing lived in Beijing's inner city.
Japan, Russia, Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy made an alliance to conduct an expedition against the Boxers in Beijing .
While they did that, the Empress Dowager Cixi declared war on all of them and sent the Gansu Army to help the Boxers.
The first foreign expedition to Beijing, the Seymour expedition was defeated.
The foreign legations in Beijing were surrounded for 55 days before the foreign reinforcements got through in the second Gaselee expedition and got to the legations in Beijing.
Manchus suffered tremendously as the foreign soldiers went around raping their women and killing their men.
The rest of China outside of Manchuria and Zhili province was not affected since the Han governor generals such as Yuan Shikai, Li Hongzhang, Liu Kunyi and Zhang Zhidong signed a pact called the Mutual Protection of Southeast China to keep their provinces out of the war and did not help the Qing court and neither did the foreigners attack them.
The foreigners were very angry with the Qing .
They said that China had to pay them even more money and execute officials responsible for supporting the Boxers like the Manchu bannerman governor Yuxian, Qixiu, Captain Enhai (En Hai) and Manchu Zaixun, Prince Zhuang and Han general Dong Fuxiang.
China agreed to execute all the Manchu officials like Yuxian, Qixiu, Enhai and Zaixun but refused to execute Han general Dong Fuxiang.
A few years later in 1911, the Qing Empire collapsed and China had a new government, but the foreigners still influenced China, especially Japan.

Perseus "Percy" Jackson is a son of Poseidon and is the protagonist and narrator of the series.
Being a child of one of the "Big Three" (Zeus, Hades, Poseidon), Percy is the hero referred to within the prophecy of the Oracle, which foretells that the next half-blood child of the "Big Three" to reach the age of sixteen would have to make a decision that would mean the destruction or saving of Olympus.
He also is called “Seaweed brain”, especially by Annabeth.
Annabeth Chase is a daughter of Athena.
So, she is very intelligent.
She is fascinated with architecture.
In battle, she is a skilled enough fighter to fight along with Percy.
She is very good in strategy.
Grover Underwood is a satyr and Percy Jackson's best friend.
He has found the four most powerful Greek demigods of the century: Percy Jackson (son of Poseidon), Thalia Grace (daughter of Zeus), and Nico and Bianca di Angelo (children of Hades).
Before his death, Pan (the god of nature) says Grover is the bravest satyr ever to be.
He names Grover as his successor to carry on his word to protect the wilderness.
He is the boyfriend of the tree nymph Juniper.
But in The Last Olympian he is chosen as a replacement for Leneus (another Satyr who died in battle) on The Council of Cloven Elders after.
Tyson is a Cyclops, the son of Poseidon and his mother is unknown.
Technically he is not a demigod, but at camp he lives in Percy's cabin, and is considered to be Percy's brother.
Also in The Sea of Monsters he was Percy's best friend and was always picked on.
At the end of the book, he gets to go to work for his father, Poseidon, in the Underwater Armory.
Nico di Angelo is a son of Hades, Bianca's younger brother and Hazel Levesque half-brother and Percy Jackson and Thalia and Jason Grace's cousin.
At first Percy assumed Hades broke the oath not to have children after World War II, but Nico and his sister Bianca had been placed in the Lotus Casino, where 'time stands still' since before the oath was made.
At the time, he took great interest in a game called Mythomagic.
Nico has the power to raise skeletal warriors, shadow travel, and create great fissures in the ground that swallow up anyone or anything unfortunate enough to be standing on it at the time.
For a time, he was Percy's enemy, blaming him for the fact that he had failed to protect Bianca as he had promised, but they became friends eventually.
Nico tried multiple times to contact his sister and had difficulty contacting her, even using his dreams.
Nico refused to stay at Camp Half-Blood in the fourth book after noting that he was not welcomed at Camp Half-Blood; he compares this to the fact that his father is not welcomed at Olympus.
Several months later, he informed Percy of a plan that could lead to defeating Kronos.
In the final book of the first series, he convinced Percy to bathe in the River Styx, making him invincible barring the small of his back.
In the end of the final book Percy makes all the gods and goddess to 'claim' all their children and make sure they have cabin's in Camp Half-blood.
Nico goes back to the camp and finds a new hades cabin has been built for him and all the other minor gods and goddess.
Later in the Heroes of Olympus series,he became captured by to giants [in mark of Athena] though he survived.
Through out house of Hades and at the end of blood of Olympus,it is said that Nico has a crush on Percy,though he gives up that dream and goes to Will Solace,the son of Apollo,and in trials of Apollo they are seen as a couple.
Thalia Grace is a daughter of Zeus.
She is Jason's older sister and the cousin of Percy Jackson and Hazel Levesque and Bianca and Nico di Angelo.
