Roseanne Cherrie Barr (born November 3, 1952) is an Emmy Award-winning American actress, writer, and comedian.
She has also been known as Roseanne Arnold and Roseanne Thomas.
For several years in the late 1990s and early 2000s, she was known simply as Roseanne but, by 2005, had resumed referring to herself by her maiden name, Roseanne Barr.
She is best known for playing Roseanne Conner on the television series Roseanne.
The self-titled series was rebooted in 2018 on ABC with record ratings.
A second season of the reboot (what would have been season 11) was eventually ordered.
However, ABC cancelled the series after Barr posted a tweet mentioning Valerie Jarrett (an aide to President Barack Obama) that was viewed as racist.

Bi-Lo was a supermarket with 214 shops all over Australia.
It used to have shops in Western Australia called Newmart.
It changed the names of all its stores to Coles Supermarkets in 2006 and 2007.
John Weekes started Bi-Lo towards the end of the 1970s in the city of Adelaide in South Australia with three shops.
It was called Bi-Lo because it sells food and everyday articles at relatively cheap prices.
Sucrose (common name: table sugar, also called saccharose) is a disaccharide (glucose + fructose) with the molecular formula C12H22O11.
Its systematic name is α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-fructofuranose.
It is best known for its role in human nutrition and is formed by plants but not by higher organisms.

A disaccharide is a sugar (a carbohydrate) composed of two monosaccharides, such as glucose and fructose that make up the disaccharide sucrose.
It is formed when two sugars are joined together and a molecule of water is removed.
Due to this, disaccharides cannot hydrolyse, meaning their molecules are unable to be broken down through a reaction with water.
For example, milk sugar (lactose) is made from glucose and galactose whereas cane sugar (sucrose) is made from glucose and fructose.
Common disaccharides
Some common Disaccharides are:  Maltose, Lactose and Sucrose.
A biological hazard, or biohazard, is anything coming from living organisms (i.e. pollen, fungi, animals, insects, bacteria and viruses)  that could be a threat to someone's health.
It is represented by ☣, the biohazard symbol, which is used everywhere in the world.
When people see this sign they know to take precautions, and to follow proper conduct for science labs.
Biosafety levels
There are four biosafety levels made by the Center of Disease Control.
These are used in laboratories so only people who have the right skills can enter.
Different levels mean scientists must wear different uniforms and take special care when dealing with dangerous things like viruses.
Biosafety Level 1 The viruses handled in BSL-1 are not very dangerous and usually only cause mild sickness.
Diseases in BSL-1 include  chicken pox and some E-Coli strains.
People in BSL-1 have to wash their hands with soap, wear gloves, and put waste materials in specially-marked bins.
Biosafety Level 2 BSL-2 is filled with slightly more hazourdous diseases than BSL-1.
They have to take more safety precautions has a result.
Hepatitis, influenza, HIV / AIDS, and salmonella are handled here.
Biosafety Level 3 BSL-3 is for diseases that may kill but are less deadly than those in Level 4, SARS and yellow fever.
A lot of them are airborne, and the lab must be in an closed off area in case of an incident.
Biosafety Level 4 BSL-4 is for very hazardous diseases that kill many people and are hard to treat.
BSL-4 workers must be careful and alert at all times and wear suits with special air filters.
A lot of hemorrhagic fevers are dealt with in BSL-4, like Ebola, Marburg, and Lassa Virus.
A petri dish is a small dish shaped like a cylinder.
Scientists use it to grow cells from animals, fungus, and diseases so they can study them.
They are usually made of glass or plastic.
The glass ones can be used again if they are heated at 160°F.
Sometimes people fill them with agar, which helps cells grow.
These are called 'agar plates'.
Many people use them in science classes at school.
They have lids so germs in the air can not get into them, or contaminate them, and ruin the experiment.
Independent Grocers of Australia or (IGA) for short, is the largest independent supermarket group in Australia.
It is part of the Independent Grocers Association which has shops all over the world.
Each IGA shop is run by the local shopkeeper unlike big companies such as Woolworths and Coles which runs all of their shops across the country.
A company supplies all IGA shops around the country and controls the use of the IGA name but does not own every one of each shop.
The independent shopkeepers and their shops claim to be Local Heroes.
There are over 1000 shops and three sub-brands.
IGA in Australia also has the Black & Gold brand name product range which first came about in 1980, the first such brand name product range to enter the independent food shops that are now called IGA.
Now, it also has a premium brand name range also called IGA and a healthy range of products called IGA Way of Life.
Metcash Trading Limited is the company behind IGA and supplies the shops.
Davids Holdings, Metcash's old name, brought the IGA name to Australia in 1988 with just 10 shops.
Now, it has grown from 10 shops to over 1000 shops in less than 20 years.

Chelmsford is a borough in the county of Essex in the East of England.
It has the same name as it main settlement of Chelmsford, the county town of Essex.
About 170,000 people live in the borough.
It was formed on 1 April 1974.
Communication Studies is a college or university area of study involving the study of communication.
Students learn about speech and different types of media.
Belote is a French 32 card trick-taking game.
This game requires four players divided into two teams.
There are many kinds of belote : "belote," "belote coinchée," and "belote avec annonce".
All of them come from a Dutch game, played since 1600.
The dealer may choose to shuffle the deck.
The previous dealer, on the left, must cut the deck.
He must deal the all deck in three time  (3+2+3).
Once the card are dealt, players start to bet on the number of point.
To bet, the player need to tell the trump he wants, and bet at least 10 point higher than the previous player.
The first player have to bet at least 80, half of all the point.
If a player have King and queen from the trump color, the team get 20 bonus points.
When a player chooses "no trump" or "all trump", he must choose a color.
the points of this color will be count as trump, all the other will be count as No trump.
Basic rules
The asked color must be played during a trick
If the color cannot be played, a trump must be played unless a teammate played the stronger card
When trump is played, a stronger trump must be played
The order of the cards are (from highest to lowest rank):
Trump:     J 9 A 10 K Q 8 7
Non-trump: A 10 K Q J 9 8 7
the last trick brings 10 more points.
The basic strategy of this game is to count the trump cards.
But it is also recommend to count all the other color, the deck is small, only 32 cards.
Betting strategy
Playing strategy
Defending strategy
A team will have to play a defending strategy if they have less trump than the other team.
The only rules with a defensive game is to save every point.
One should not expect more than one trick for each colors.
Attacking strategy
The usual strategy for the attacking team is to try make the opponent lose their trumps, so they will not be able to cut the other trick.
Once it is done they may start to think about trying to get the ace or 10 card.
There is only one way to get an ace: to cut it.
That is why whenever a team mate is about to take the current trick, someone should play the colour in which someone has one less card.
To get a ten someone may play an ace at the second trick or cut it.
Monosaccharides are  the simplest form of carbohydrates.
They consist of one sugar and are usually colorless, water-soluble, crystalline solids.
Some monosaccharides  have a sweet taste.
Examples of monosaccharides include glucose (dextrose), fructose, galactose, and ribose.
Monosaccharides are the building blocks of disaccharides like sucrose (common sugar) and polysaccharides (such as cellulose and starch).
Further, each carbon atom that supports a hydroxyl group (except for the first and last) is chiral, giving rise to a number of isomeric forms all with the same chemical formula.
For instance, galactose and glucose are both aldohexoses, but they have different chemical and physical properties.
Lactose is a disaccharide that is made up of galactose and glucose molecules.
Lactose makes up around 2-8% of the solids in milk.
The name comes from the Latin word for milk, plus the -ose ending used to name sugars.
Lactose is found in some milk products.
Digestion of lactose
Infant mammals are fed on by milk from their mothers.
To digest it, an enzyme called lactase cleaves the lactose into its two subunits glucose and galactose for absorption.

Glycogen is found in the form of granules in the cytosol in many cell types, and plays an important role in the glucose cycle.
Glycogen forms an energy reserve that can be quickly mobilized to meet a sudden need for glucose, but one that is less compact than the energy reserves of triglycerides.
Only the glycogen stored in the liver can be made accessible to other organs.

They can also be harmful to humans in the long-term range.
They come from mineral and fossil sources or are produced by humans themselves.
Many pollutants have a poisonous effect on the body.
Carbon monoxide is an example of a substance which is damaging to humans.
This compound is taken up in the body instead of oxygen.
That makes the body suffocate and in severe cases may lead to death.
Some pollutants became dangerous by reaction with other naturally occurring compounds.
The oxides of nitrogen and sulphur are released from impurities in fossil fuels when they are burnt.
They react with water vapour in the atmosphere to become acid rain.
Acid rain damages buildings and makes lakes unable to support marine life, which causes fish and water plants to die.

Miriam-Webster definition of pollutes
Carbon monoxide, with the chemical formula CO, is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas.
It consists of one carbon atom covalently bonded to one oxygen atom.
It is made when carbon compounds burn and there is not enough oxygen.
It is a good fuel and burns in air with a blue flame, making carbon dioxide.
It is very toxic, but it is useful for modern technology as well.
The most important use for carbon monoxide in industry is making iron from iron ore.
The carbon monoxide takes the oxygen from the iron ore when heated in a large oven called a blast furnace.
Liquid metal iron is left behind.
The carbon monoxide turns into carbon dioxide.
Carbon monoxide can accidentally form when there is too little air to burn all the fuel into carbon dioxide.
Such a situation may happen if the oven shutters are closed too early or if a mobile cooker is used in a small tent with no ventilation (Ventilation is fresh air coming in and smoke going out).
Many people have died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause feelings of paranoia and hallucinations, and has been determined to be a major cause of "haunted" houses.
Small amounts of it are found in coal gas, a fuel produced by heating coal without any air.
Despite that it is a poison, carbon monoxide is very useful in chemical industry so lots of ways of making it have been discovered.
Normally we burn coke at high temperature with not enough oxygen.
Blast furnaces work this way.
The chemical equation for this is:
2C + O2 → 2CO
C + H2O → CO + H2
Carbon monoxide can be used as heating fuel because it burns easily into carbon dioxide.
It can also be used as so-called "synthesis gas" for making man-made gasoline in the Fischer-Tropsch process.
During the World War II when petrol was rare and reserved for the military, many cars were converted to use wood gas.
It is carbon monoxide made by burning wood chips in insufficient amount of air.
The wood gas was made in a special oven called generator, which was carried on the car.
The resulting carbon monoxide was then used as fuel for the car itself.
Even today there are cars which use wood gas as fuel.

Falco (born February 19, 1957 in Vienna, Austria as Johann (Hans) Hölzel, and died on February 6, 1998 in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic) was an Austrian pop singer.
His breakthrough was "Der Kommissar", which beat top positions in international charts.
This song and his first two albums were produced by Robert Ponger.
His song Rock me Amadeus has been the one and only German-speaking song reaching no.1 on the US charts.
From 1985 to 1988 he produced 3 albums with the Dutch Production Team Bolland & Bolland. "
Falco 3" became his most successful record reaching number 3 of the US Longplay Charts.
Unsuccessful albums like "Data de Groove" (produced by Ponger again) followed.
In 1988 he married Isabella Vitkovic, one year later, in 1989, they separated.
Ponger and the Bollands produced all of the albums that were released in his lifetime.
To stay tuned Falco recorded many techno songs and worked with different producers for his last album.

Gabriel Pascal was born in Transylvania (which is now part of Romania) in 1894.
Pascal is best known for having turned some of the best plays by the famous Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw into successful movies.
His most famous movie made from one of Shaw's plays was Pygmalion in 1938.
Pygmalion tells the story of a bet that two rich men made over whether one of them, Professor Higgins, could turn a poor uneducated girl into a sophisticated lady.
The movie was so successful that after Gabriel Pascal died it was made into a huge Broadway musical called My Fair Lady, and amazingly this musical was then made into another movie.
So Pygmalion was first a play, then a movie based on the play, then a play based on the movie, and then a new play based on the movie made from the old play.
It is therefore quite a remarkable history and it was Gabriel Pascal's idea to make the play a musical, though he did not live long enough to do it himself.
Gabriel Pascal invented his name and no one seems to know his real one.
He claimed to have memories of being rescued by Gypsies from a burning building when he was a tiny child and that the Gypsies taught him to beg, steal, and do acrobatic tricks, but no one knows if this is true.
It is unclear what parts of his fabulous account of his childhood are true as there are no formal records of him prior to the age of 17 when he was enlisted in military school in Holics, Hungary, by a mysterious Catholic priest.
Gabriel Pascal, who was decidedly unfit for military life, became interested in theater and studied at the Academy of the Hofburg Theater in Vienna.
Later his interest expanded into the newly burgeoning cinema and he made movies in Germany and Italy with sporadic success.
Pascal had one son, Peter, conceived in Germany during the delirium of a fever with his landlady's sister Elsie.
Unable to care even for himself, Pascal fled to Holland.
After WWII ended, at last on his feet with the success of Pygmalion and Major Barbara, Pascal rushed to Germany to search for his son Peter, but he was listed among the missing Hitler Youth.
Elsie had been killed by a bomb.
As a young man, Pascal found a job tending horses in Hungary.
Leading the horses through the forest to a stream each day, Pascal developed the habit of riding bareback naked through the Hungarian countryside.
One day he accidentally rode stark naked through the outdoor set of a silent movie in production and was "discovered."
The film's director asked him to repeat the ride for the cameras and he joined the group.
Soon he was making his own movies.
Pascal had another auspicious encounter when he was young while walking along the shore of the Mediterranean.
An old man, George Bernard Shaw, was swimming naked holding onto a buoy.
A conversation ensued and Shaw dared the young Pascal on the shore to take off his clothes and join him in the water.
He was impressed when Pascal immediately did so and this began their friendship.
Shaw was impressed with Pascal's youthful enthusiasm for art and his bravado and invited him to come visit him one day when he was entirely broke.
This chance meeting was to play a major role in Pascal's later career.
Pascal began his producing career making silent movies in Italy for German distribution through UFA Studios in Berlin.
His directorial debut was Populi Morituri in which he also starred.
He later produced horror movies in Germany.
His most famous was Unholy Tales in 1932.
It was an anthology of short spooky stories, including some by Edgar Allan Poe, tied together by the adventures of a black cat and is considered by some to be a forgotten horror classic.
In 1933, during a trip to Hollywood, Pascal was contacted by Princess Norina Matchabelli about a movie project based on the teachings of her guru Meher Baba.
Pascal got very caught up in this project, bringing movie writers Hy Kraft and Karl Vollmöller into helping him work up treatments and even making a trip to India to discuss the project further with Meher Baba.
By the time Pascal arrived in India, however, Meher Baba did not seem in any hurry to complete the movie, saying it could wait and inviting Pascal to live with him in India.
Most ordinary men would have been discouraged, but Pascal took energetically to the austere life of an eastern ascetic, even shedding his western garb for eastern clothing.
He took a liking to Meher Baba and maintained a correspondence with him all of his life.
Meher Baba nicknamed Pascal "Phoenix" and alternately "Panther."
Pascal remained in contact with his guru Meher Baba right up to the end of his life and met with him in person one last time in New York in 1952.
Even in this final meeting there was mention of the movie that Pascal had agreed to try to make for Baba.
Late career
In time, however, Pascal's desire to make his mark on cinema returned and Pascal took a ship back to America penniless but undaunted.
He landed in San Francisco where he spent some time deciding what to do next.
Then it struck him to approach George Bernard Shaw (the most famous living playwright in the English speaking world at the time), whom Pascal had met auspiciously many years earlier.
During that earlier meeting Shaw, who had been impressed with the young Pascal's passion for art and cinema, had told him to pay him a visit when he was entirely penniless.
Pascal was now exactly that.
He then sought out Shaw, first by going to N.Y. hidden in the toilet of the train, then convincing a sea captain to give him a lift to England.
Somehow he did convince Shaw to give him the rights to his plays, beginning with Pygmalion (1938), which was an enormous international hit, both critically and financially.
Pascal followed up Pygmalion with Major Barbara (1941) which he directed as well as produced.
Major Barbara was filmed in London during the bombing by the Nazis.
During air raids the crew and cast had to dodge into bomb shelters.
Pascal never stopped the production and the movie was completed on schedule.
But Pascal became more and more extravagant, finally losing his credibility with Caesar and Cleopatra (1945) which was the most expensive British movie ever made at that time and a terrible financial and critical flop, although it is more highly regarded today.
Pascal famously insisted on importing sand from Egypt to achieve the right cinematic colors for this extravaganza.
Shaw had become more difficult to work with also.
After the success of Pygmalion, which was shortened in its transition from stage to screen, as plays generally are, he increasingly refused to let his plays be cut.
The result was that Major Barbara and Caesar and Cleopatra were not only filmed virtually complete, but with additional scenes by Shaw himself.
Each of the two movies ran over two hours.
Pascal did manage to produce one more movie, Androcles and the Lion, in 1952.
By this time he was increasingly sick with cancer of the liver.
The famous estate trial
In spring of 1954, in New York City, just before his passing Pascal had planned a trip to India to see Meher Baba one last time.
He was having an affair and divorcing his wife at the time.
One day he impulsively wrote on a piece of hotel stationery to his mistress, "If I die on my trip to India I leave my entire estate to you."
He signed and dated it before two witnesses, a cook and a maid in the hotel who did not speak English but only Chinese.
This was an absurd gesture since Pascal was totally in debt.
He died within a short time of this letter in July 1954, and within two years of his death the musical My Fair Lady, which Pascal had managed to retain an option on by borrowing money from a Baba follower named Margaret Scott, opened on Broadway.
Thus, soon after his death, his estate, which had been worth nothing on his deathbed, grew to an estimated value of two million dollars.
There was a large court battle in which his wife Valerie (who he was not fully divorced from at the time of his death) and the mistress fought over his estate.
His odd last will and testament on the hotel stationery was entered as evidence in support of his mistress and the case was well-publicized.
Several Meher Baba followers were involved in his life at the end including Harold Rudd who testified at his trial.
The result of the trial was an even split of Pascal's royalties from My Fair Lady between the mistress and Pascal's estranged wife, each receiving well over one million dollars in settlement.
His wife Valerie attempted to pay back the borrowed option money to Margaret Scott, but by the time the settlement came through Mrs. Scott had fallen from a New York apartment window to her death.
Valerie therefore paid the money to Margaret's daughter instead.
Pascal is best remembered as one of the big Hungarian movie producers, like the famous Alexander Korda.
He was the only producer ever to have major movie deals with seven separate countries on three continents: Hungary, Italy, Germany, China, India, England, and the US.
He was also the only man to ever convince George Bernard Shaw to adjust his scripts to the new medium of cinema, gaining concessions from Shaw that no other man could.
Pascal even invented the famous line for Pygmalion, later appearing in the theatrical and movie versions of My Fair Lady, "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain" and Shaw, by now publicly referring to Pascal as a "genius," wrote the line into the script.
He was one of the most extravagant men of his time, named in 1938 as one of the world's most famous men by Time magazine along with Adolf Hitler.
He is less known for his deep interest in the spiritual and his boundless enthusiasm for art as a direct and honest route to God.
He is even less known for his lifelong devotion to spiritual master Meher Baba.
His life is well documented in the beautifully written biography by his wife Valerie, The Disciple and His Devil, published by McGraw-Hill in 1970 and republished by iUniverse in 1984.
After Pascal's death, Valerie married the famous publisher and philanthropist George T. Delacorte Jr. and spent the rest of her life supporting charitable foundations under the name Valerie Delacorte.

20th Century Studios, Inc. (formerly known from 1914 to 1931 as Fox Film, 1933 to 1935 as 20th Century Pictures 1935 to 1985 and 1985 to 2020 (and informally) as Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation or Twentieth Century Fox or 20th Century Fox Film Corporation) is a large American company that makes movies ("motion picture studio").
It is in the Century City area of Los Angeles, California, USA, just west of Beverly Hills.
Before 2013, 20th Century Fox was a subsidiary of News Corporation before it was split into two companies.
After that, one of those companies, 21st Century Fox, became the studio's owner.
On December 14, 2017, The Walt Disney Company said that it has acquired many of 21st Century Fox's subsidiaries, including 20th Century Fox.
Thus, the studio is now owned by Disney and became 20th Century Studios.
20th Century Studios was formed in 1935 when Fox Film Corporation and Twentieth Century Pictures joined together to form the company.
20th Century Fox Television is a part of the company that makes television series.
History of 20th Century Studios
In 1935, Twentieth Century Pictures, Inc. and Fox Film Corporation merged together to form "Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation" (the hyphen between "Century" and "Fox" was dropped in 1985), or simply "20th Century Fox".
During the Golden Age of Hollywood it was one of the "Big Five" studios (the other were MGM, Paramount Pictures, RKO Radio Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures).
From 2013-2019, it was a subsidiary of 21st Century Fox Inc., which was a company formed when News Corporation split up into two companies.
As of July 2018, their two most financially successful films are Avatar, released in 2009, and Titanic (under international rights), released in 1997.
Both films were directed by James Cameron.
Fox's most highly acclaimed film, according to review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes (jointly owned by Universal and Warner Bros.), is All About Eve, released in 1950 and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz.
In December 2017, Disney announced its plans to buy most of 21st Century Fox's assets, which included a bidding war with Comcast; the acquisition process was completed on March 20, 2019, with the last pre-Disney release from the studio being Alita: Battle Angel, released on February 14, 2019.
The remaining assets Disney didn't acquire, notably the Fox network and Fox News, were spun-off into a new company called Fox Corporation.
On January 17, 2020, Disney announced that it would be dropping the word "Fox" from the company name, presumably to avoid confusion with Fox Corporation, renaming it to "Twentieth Century Studios," along with Searchlight Pictures.
However, the studio was still legally incorporated and traded as Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation until December 4, 2020.
As of December 4, 2020, the company has been using 20th Century Studios, Inc. as copyright for 20th Century Studios and Searchlight Pictures, while the company has been using 20th Television, Inc. for the copyright of 20th Television productions as a Disney subsidiary.

John Taverner should not be confused with the 20th-21st century British composer Sir John Tavener.
John Taverner (born about 1490 – died 18 October, 1545) was the most important English composer of his time.
He was also an organist.
We cannot be sure exactly when Taverner was born.
Some people think that he was a boy chorister at the church of Tattershall in Lincolnshire but his name does not appear on the list of choristers there.
People now think that he worked there later as a lay clerk.
He got a job at Cardinal College (now called Christ Church) in Oxford but he could not stay very long because  King Henry VIII made lots of changes to the way people had to worship in church.
Taverner even hid some books which the king had forbidden under the floor, and he got into trouble for doing this.
In the end the Cardinal did not punish him because, he said, he was “only a musician”.
In 1530 he seems to have gone back to Lincolnshire and stayed there for the rest of his life.
He probably wrote no more music, but he was quite rich.
Taverner composed eight masses.
The most famous one is called the Western Wynde.
It was a “parody mass”, which meant that it used a popular tune with that title.
Another mass was called Gloria tibi trinitas.
This work set a fashion for pieces which were called In Nomines, because the tune was from the Benedictus in the mass which sets the words “in nomine domine” (“in the name of the Father”).
“In nomine”s were compositions for instruments which used this tune.

John Tavener was born in Wembley, Middlesex.
He went to Highgate School in North London.
Another pupil there at the time was John Rutter.
At school he studied piano, organ and composition and wrote music for the school orchestra.
He also wrote music for the Presbyterian church where his family went and where his father was organist.
In 1962 he went to the Royal College of Music where he studied the piano at first but then changed to composition.
One of his early successes was a cantata called Cain and Abel which was performed by the London Bach Society.
It was the performance of The Whale by the London Sinfonietta in 1968 that made him really famous.
This work used collage, pre-recorded tape, amplified percussion and a chorus who used loudhailers.
This kind of thing was very fashionable in the 1960s.
Another work written in 1968 was In Alium.
It was performed at the Proms.
It was an unusual concert: three works by living composers were played in the first half.
The audience were asked to vote for which one they wanted to hear again after the interval.
They chose In Alium.
The Beatles became interested in Tavener’s music.
John Lennon heard The Whale and he decided to issue Tavener’s music on the newly formed Apple label.
Tavener became professor of composition at Trinity College.
He continued to compose, although he often had difficulty finishing pieces.
He was often worried that he might not be able to think of any new music.
In 1977 he became a member of the Russian Orthodox Church.
This changed his life.
His music was very religious.
He married his second wife and had two children.
He was also very ill with heart trouble and even died on the operating table in hospital, but he brought back to life by the doctors.
He made a very important friend, Mother Thekla.
She was an 80-year-old nun in the Orthodox Church, and she gave John a lot of advice and encouragement in his life.
A short piece for choir, The Lamb was written as a birthday present for his 3 year old nephew.
It is very often sung by choirs at Christmas as a carol.
In 1989, his work The Protecting Veil was performed at the Proms.
It was a work for cello and orchestra.
The cellist was Steven Isserlis.
This piece is one of the best known modern works for cello.
He continued to write a lot of music.
His Song for Athene was performed at the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1998.
It was heard on television all over the world.
Tavener died on 12 November 2013 at his home in Child Okeford, Dorset from unknown causes, aged 69.
Tavener suffered many health issues.
He suffered two heart attack and had surgery to remove an intestinal tumor.

If a ball is thrown upwards while standing on the ground, the ball will reach a certain height (the faster thrown - the higher) and fall back down.
But imagine if the ball is thrown fast enough that it never falls back down, and instead travels into space farther and farther away from the Earth.
The minimum speed at which this could happen is called the escape velocity.
This is, of course, a very high speed compared to how fast a ball can be thrown.
Even a bullet shot into the sky will fall back down, because its initial speed of nearly 1 kilometer per second (or 0.621 miles per second) is far from escape velocity.
Spacecraft starting from the surface of Earth has a zero initial speed.
But, if it has enough fuel, it may be permanently accelerated by its engine until it reaches escape velocity.
Then it will travel into space even after the engine is shut off.
A razor is a tool, with one or more blades, most commonly used by men for shaving the hair from their face, and by women for shaving hair from their legs and underarms.
The earliest razors known are from the Bronze Age.
They were made of bronze and had an oval shape.
There are different kinds of razors today, including straight razors, which are rarely used, and safety razors and electric razors.
Straight razors
Before the 20th century, straight razors were widely used.
A straight razor consists of a knife blade, which can be reused.
Since this blade is usually very sharp, there is a high risk of cutting oneself with the razor while scraping off the hair.
Today, such razors are rarely used any more, except by barbers.
Safety razors
In the late 18th century, French engineer Jean-Jacques Perret invented the safety razor.
With this system, the skin is protected, from all but the edge of the blade.
This makes cutting much harder.
The first such razor was released in 1875 by the Campfe Brothers.
In 1901, King Camp Gillette invented the first razor with disposable razor blades.
The blades were thrown away after several uses.
The number of times a disposable blade can be used depends on beard coarseness and shaving technique, but the average is about one week.
The company, Gilette still makes such razors today.
They sell the razor relatively cheaply, and make big profits on the razor blades.
Electric razors
For face and body hair
The electric razor was the next big step.
With electric razors, shaving cream, soap or water is no longer needed.
Electric razors use electricity to either make blades rotate or oscillate.
That is the blades are either moved in circles, or they are moved up and down (or left and right).
The razor is usually powered by a rechargeable battery.
Prof. Alexandre Horowitz invented the concept of rotating blades which is still marketed  as Philishave by Philips.
For head hair
A slightly different type of electric razor is used to trim and cut hair from the head.
Haircutting electric razors have comb-like attachments which determine the length of the hair.
Electric haircutting razors are widely used by military and prison barbers, because hair can be cut much more quickly with electric haircutting razors than with scissors.
Side-effects
Shaving using any of the shaving methods (straight razor, safety razor, or electric razor) can have side-effects, including cuts, abrasions, and irritated skin.
Razor bumps can also occur from removing ingrown hairs.
To reduce the likelihood of cuts, abrasions, and irritated skin, people can use a fresh razor blade and prepare their faces by washing in hot, soapy water and then applying a shaving cream lather.
There is a razor called Bump Fighter that is designed to reduce razor bumps and other side effects, but it uses special cartridges that are more expensive than standard double-edge razor blades.
A mood stabilizer is a psychiatric medication used to treat mood disorders characterized by fast and unstable mood changes.
Among the disorders commonly treated are  bipolar disorder and Borderline personality disorder.
With these conditions, the mood can change rapidly, between mania and depression.
Many mood stabilizers can also prevent convulsions.

The International Baccalaureate, or IB, is a well-known advanced school program.
It is taught in English, French and Spanish in more than 140 countries.
Students earn an IB Diploma after passing exams and completing the program requirements.
They have to take classes in 6 subject areas.
This is more than most countries.
The six subject areas are: Language 1 (first language), Language 2 (second language), Math, Science, World Studies, and Electives.
History, Literature, Geography, and Economics are all World Studies subjects.
Students also have the option of taking a second science class instead of an elective.
Students have to do to 3 subjects at Higher Level (HL) and 3 subjects at Standard Level (SL).
HL classes are longer and more complex, although SL classes are still somewhat more challenging than regular program classes.

Sea cucumbers are a class of echinoderms, the Holothuroidea.
They have a longish body, and leathery skin.
Sea cucumbers live on the floor of the ocean.
Most sea cucumbers are scavengers.
There are about 1500 species of sea cucumbers.
Sea cucumbers have a unique respiratory system, and effective defences against predators.
The Chinese people eat them.
Like all echinoderms, sea cucumbers have an endoskeleton just below the skin, calcareous structures that are usually reduced to isolated ossicles  joined by connective tissue.
These can sometimes be enlarged to flattened plates, forming an armour.
In pelagic species the skeleton is absent.
A remarkable feature of these animals is the collagen which forms their body wall.
This can be loosened and tightened at will.
If the animal wants to squeeze through a small gap, it can undo the collagen connections, and pour into the space.
To keep itself safe in these cracks, the sea cucumber hooks up all its collagen fibres to make its body firm again.
The animals have an internal respiratory tree which floats in the internal watery cavity.
At the rear, water is pumped in and out of the cloaca, so gaseous exchange takes place with the resiratory tree in the gut.p80
Some species of coral reef sea cucumbers defend themselves by expelling sticky cuvierian tubules to entangle potential predators.
These tubules are attached to the respiratory tree in the gut.
When startled, these cucumbers may expel the tubules through a tear in the wall of the cloaca.
In effect, this squirts sticky threads all over a predator.
Replacement tubules grow back in one-and-a-half to five weeks, depending on the species.
The release of these tubules can also be accompanied by the discharge of a toxic chemical known as holothurin, which has similar properties to soap.
This chemical can kill any animal in the vicinity and is one more way in which these sedentary animals can defend themselves.
Other cucumbers, lacking this device, can split their intestinal wall, and spew out their gut and respiratory tree.
They regenerate them later.
Zoologists who experience this believe it to be an impressive deterrent. "
The mess one individual can make must be seen to be believed".p81
Highly modified tube feet around the mouth are always present.
These are  branched and retractile tentacles, much larger than the regular tube feet.
Sea cucumbers have between ten and thirty such tentacles, depending on the species.
There is a ring of larger ossicles round the mouth and oesophagus to which the muscles of the tube feet are attached.
With their sticky tentacles the animal collects detritus and small organisms.

A polysaccharide is a complex carbohydrate.
Polysaccharides are polymers made up of many monosaccharides.
They are very large, often branched, molecules.
They tend to be amorphous, insoluble in water, and have no sweet taste.
When all the constituent monosaccharides are of the same type they are termed homopolysaccharides; when more than one type of monosaccharide is present they are termed heteropolysaccharides.
Starches
Starches are insoluble in water.
They can be digested by hydrolysis, catalyzed by enzymes called amylases.
Humans and other animals have amylases, so they can digest starches.
Potato, rice, wheat, and maize are major sources of starch in the human diet.
The structural components of plants are formed primarily from cellulose.
Wood is largely cellulose and lignin, while paper and cotton are nearly pure cellulose.
Cellulose is a polymer made with repeated glucose units.
