The summit is the top of a mountain or hill.
In geography, the elevation of mountains is measured.
The elevation is the difference in height between sea level and the top of a mountain or hill.
A peak is a pointed mountain, though not always.
The femoral artery is the large artery that takes oxygen rich blood to a human's legs.
Coming from the heart the blood flows along the iliac artery which then divides into the two (bifurcates) femoral arteries, to supply blood to each leg.
The artery is very close to the surface where it passes through the groin.
An enterotype is a classification of gut flora.
It is based on the ecosystem in the human intestinal system.
The classification is done by identifying the bacteria and protists which live there.
This is called the "human gut biome".
Research shows there are three distinct ecosystems in the guts of people.
People can be classified into one of three groups based on the bacteria in their intestines.
The enterotype of each person is set while the person is an infant.
The enterotype affects how well a person can digest food or absorb drugs.
Chimpanzees have enterotypes that look similar to human enterotypes.
Type 1 has high levels of Bacteroides.
Prevotella are common in Type 2.
Type 3 has high levels of Ruminococcus.
Amelia Jessica 'Amy' Pond is a fictional character on the British science fiction television series Doctor Who.
She is played by Karen Gillan.
Amy is a companion of the main character, The Doctor, in his eleventh form.
Much of Amy's part in the story is about her relationship with Rory Williams.
They get married in the sixth series, and Amy gives birth to their daughter, Melody.
It is later shown that Melody grows up to be the character River Song.
Amelia Pond is first seen in the first episode of the 2010 series, "The Eleventh Hour".
She is a seven-year-old girl living with only her aunt, Sharon.
She asks the Doctor to look at a strange crack in her wall.
He is interrupted by the TARDIS.
The Doctor tells Amelia that he will be back in five minutes.
He does not get back for twelve years.
During this time, Amelia's family and friends think The Doctor is her imaginary friend.
She is treated by four psychiatrists because she keeps telling people that the "Raggedy Doctor" is real.
She bites them when they tell her the Doctor is imaginary.
When the Doctor returns, Amy is nineteen years old.
She is  working as a kissogram.
Amy helps the Doctor save Earth from the Atraxi.
Because of the unusual condition of the TARDIS, Amy does not see the Doctor again for two years.
He asks her to travel with him.
She says she will go with him, but only if he will bring her back by the next morning.
She does not tell him that her wedding is the next day.
At the end of "Flesh and Stone", Amy tells the Doctor about her wedding to Rory.
Because of "pre-wedding jitters", she tries to seduce him.
The Doctor then finds Rory and takes him and Amy to 16th century Venice.
At this point in time, Rory travelling with them.
In "Amy's Choice", Amy has to deal with her feelings for the Doctor and Rory.
She sees how much she loves  Rory.
At the end of "Cold Blood", Rory is killed and removed from history by the cracks in the universe.
Amy no longer remembers him.
The Doctor takes Amy to her favourite places because he feels guilty about Rory.
In 19th century France, Amy forms a friendship with painter Vincent Van Gogh.
Van Gogh shows a romantic interest in Amy.
In "The Pandorica Opens", Rory is found in 102 AD as a Roman centurion.
Amy starts to remember him.
,As she remembers, it is shown that the centurion Rory is only an Auton—living plastic that looks and acts like Rory.
It was made from Amy's memories to trap the Doctor.
Rory tries to fight his programming but fails.
He shoots and kills Amy.
Amy's body is put in the Pandorica.
It is a "perfect prison".
It was built to keep any person trapped in it alive forever.
Auton Rory guards the Pandorica while Amy is inside.
She is kept inside while her body is healed.
In 1996, the Pandorica is finally opened, and she is set free, by the younger Amy Pond.
The Doctor learns that Amy is connected to the cracks in the universe.
He sees that they come from a temporal explosion on the date of her wedding.
He talks to Amy about her house.
He tells her that it is too big for only her and her aunt.
Amy learns that her family had been erased by the crack in her wall.
She had forgotten them.
The Doctor helps her remember them.
He uses the Pandorica to reset the universe and finds the sleeping Amelia on the night they met.
He tells her the story of how he borrowed the TARDIS from his own people.
He tells her that it is "old and new," and "big and small" and "the bluest blue that there is".
He then steps into the crack in her wall to closes the cracks forever.
Amy wakes up on her wedding day and is reunited with her parents.
She marries Rory.
At the reception, she sees that River Song's diary about time spent with the Doctor is now empty.
This causes Amy to start remembering things.
She says that her "Raggedy Doctor" was real and her memory of him brings him back to reality.
After this, Amy and Rory choose to go with the Doctor again.
They are dropped off at a "honeymoon planet" between the end of "The Big Bang" and the start of Death of the Doctor.
Part of their honeymoon is on an interstellar cruise ship that the Doctor stops from crashing into a populated planet.
In the 2011 series, after an unknown amount of time, Amy and Rory return to the present.
They go back to living a normal life until Amy gets an anonymous "TARDIS blue" invitation to the Utah desert.
In the desert, she and Rory find the Doctor.
He has aged almost 200 years since they left the TARDIS.
They learn that River Song was also invited to this place.
They group sees the Doctor's killed by an astronaut.
They learn that the older Doctor also invited a younger version of himself.
They travel with him to 1969 Washington, D.C. to investigate strange things involving the Silence.
The silence is an alien race who cannot be remembered.
After a person met one of the silence, they would forget everything about them as soon as they could no longer see them.
While there, Amy tells the Doctor she is pregnant.
She later shoots a person in an astronaut suit trying to save the future Doctor's life.
She sees that the person in the suit is just a little girl.
When the Doctor asks Amy later about the pregnancy, she tells him that she was wrong.
The Doctor tries to learn more but learns nothing.
In "Day of the Moon", Amy finds strange pictures of the astronaut girl in an old orphanage.
In one of the pictures, She is holding a baby.
She sees the little girl again as well as two Silence.
Amy is kidnapped by the Silence.
She is set free by the Doctor, Rory, and River a few days later.
During the first six episodes, Amy keeps having strange visions of a woman in an eye-patch.
The woman keeps saying that "she must be dreaming".
In "The Almost People" it is shown that the Amy with the Doctor is actually an avatar version.
It was created with "the Flesh" brought to life by Amy's consciousness.
The Doctor destroys it and he and Rory go to find the real Amy.
She is, at that time, beginning to have her baby.
Amy gives birth to her daughter Melody Pond.
In "A Good Man Goes to War", the baby is kidnapped by the eye-patched woman, Madame Kovarian.
Korvarian replaced the baby with a "Flesh" version.
It is shown at the end of the episode that the name Melody Pond, when translated into an alien language is River Song.
River is Amy and Rory's daughter. "
Let's Kill Hitler" shows how Melody had regenerated into Mels.
Mels was the childhood friend of Amy and Rory.
Amy named her daughter after Mels.
The episode does not show her true identity until she regenerates into River Song after being shot by Hitler.
The episode also shows how Amy and Rory fell in love.
In "The God Complex" the Doctor has to break Amy's faith in him.
He learns that she is the reason they are brought to a prison for a being that kills by feeding on faith.
The Doctor says goodbye to Rory and Amy after giving them a house and car.
In "Closing Time" Amy makes a cameo appearance.
It is shown that she has become a model and the face of Petrichor perfume.
In "The Wedding of River Song," Amy leads a secret organisation.
Rory works for her.
The Doctor and River meet again in an alternate reality after River stopped the Doctor being killed by the astronaut.
Amy remembers all of her past with the Doctor but cannot remember Rory.
Amy finally remembers Rory when she saves him from the Silence.
She kills Madame Kovarian for taking away Melody.
Reality is restored when the Doctor and River marry.
Amy and Rory are back at home.
They have had no contact with the Doctor since "The God Complex," but they still remember the alternate events.
Later River tells Amy that the Doctor did not die in Utah and is in fact alive.
Doctor Who executive producer and main writer Steven Moffat came up with the name for the character.
In an interview with Kat Angus of Dose magazine, Doctor Who writer Russell T Davies said, "So when the new series starts next year with the new Doctor, you don’t just get Matt Smith coming on, you also get Karen Gillan as his new companion.
I think Amy Pond will be hugely welcomed, because ... I think he does need someone.
A lot of these stories prove that.
There’s been a huge, empty space on the TARDIS for a long time now and I think her arrival will be every bit as big as Matt’s.
It’s really exciting, and everything I’ve heard about Karen is that she’s brilliant.
It’s one of our plans that I’m most pleased with, actually.
We’ve held off on companions for a long time, so you’ll get rewarded with a great, big, strong character in Amy Pond, when she arrives.
I think that plan’s been good."
Gillan said in an interview with the Radio Times that she was to play Amy Pond with her natural Scottish accent, She auditioned for the part in both her natural accent and with an English one.
Gillan has said that she feels using her Scottish accent better fits the character.
Casting and initial filming
Gillan, like some of the people who had been the Doctor's companion before her, had already been on Doctor Who in a smaller role.
Gillan was a soothsayer in the episode "The Fires of Pompeii".
It was broadcast in 2008.
"We saw some amazing actresses for this part.
But when Karen came through the door, the game was up - she was funny, clever, gorgeous and sexy.
Or Scottish, which is the quick way of saying it.
A generation of little girls will want to be her.
And a generation of little boys will want them to be her too."
Doctor Who executive producer Piers Wenger agreed, "We knew Karen was perfect for the role the moment we saw her.
She brought an energy and excitement to the part that was just fantastic."
Gillan said she was happy to have been cast in the role.
She says, "I am absolutely over the moon at being chosen to play the Doctor's new companion.
The show is such a massive phenomenon that I can't quite believe I am going to be a part of it.
Matt Smith is an incredible actor and it is going to be so much fun to act alongside him – I just can't wait to get started."
The role of the young Amelia was played by Gillan's 10-year-old cousin, Caitlin Blackwood.
Gillan asked producers to let her cousin play the part, but Blackwood still had to audition.
On set was the first time Gillan and Blackwood had actually met each other.
When "The Eleventh Hour" was first shown, two viewers quoted in The Telegraph said that Amy's character was too "sexy" for a family programme like Doctor Who.
Executive producer Piers Wenger said that Amy was meant to be "feisty and outspoken and a bit of a number.
Amy is probably the wildest companion that the Doctor has travelled with, but she isn’t promiscuous."

was the 49th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession.
Kōnin's reign started in 770 and ended in 781.
Before he became the monarch, this prince's personal name (imina) was
Events of Kōnin's life
8 September 769 (Jingo-keiun 3, 4th day of the 8th month): In the 5th year of Shōtoku's reign, she died; and Prince Shirakabe was her heir.
28 August 770 (Jingo-keiun 4, 4th day of the 8th month):   The succession (senso) was received by Prince Shirakabe, who was the 62-year-old grandson of Emperor Tenji.
23 October 770 (Jingo-keiun 4, 1st day of the 10th month): Emperor Kōnin was said to have acceded to the throne (sokui) in a formal ceremony.
The era name was changed to Hōki 1.
781 (Ten'ō 1, 4th month): In the 11th year of Kōnin's reign, he abdicated in favor of his son who became known as Emperor Kammu.
781 (Ten'ō 1, 12th month) : Kōnin died at the age of 73.
Emperor Kōnin is traditionally venerated at his tomb; the Imperial Household Agency designates Tahara no Higashi no Misasagi in Nara as the location of Kōnin's mausoleum.

Monroe is the eighth-largest city in the U.S. state of Louisiana.
It is the parish seat of Ouachita Parish.
In 2010, 48,815 people lived there.
It is a composite material made up of chips surrounded by a binder.
It is poured in place or precast.
It is used for floors or walls.
It consists of marble, quartz, granite, glass or other suitable chips, sprinkled or unsprinkled, and poured with a binder that is cement-like, chemical or a combination of both.
Terrazzo is cured, ground and polished to a smooth surface.
Sometimes, it is finished to produce a uniformly textured surface that is not flat.
Terrazzo artisans create walkways, floors, patios, and panels by exposing marble chips and other fine aggregates on the surface of finished concrete or epoxy-resin.
Much of the preliminary work of terrazzo workers is similar to that of cement masons.
First, cement masons or terrazzo workers build a solid, level concrete foundation that is 3 to 4 inches (7.6 cm to 10 cm) deep.
After the forms are removed from the foundation, workers add a 1-inch (2.54 cm) layer of sandy concrete.
Before this layer sets, terrazzo workers partially embed metal divider strips in the concrete wherever there is to be a joint or change of color in the terrazzo.
For the final layer, terrazzo workers blend and place into each of the panels a fine marble chip mixture that may be color-pigmented.
While the mixture is still wet, workers toss additional marble chips of various colors into each panel and roll a lightweight roller over the entire surface.
In the 1970s, polymer-based terrazzo was introduced and is called thin-set terrazzo.
Initially polyester and vinyl ester resins were used as the binder resin.
Today, most of the terrazzo installed is epoxy terrazzo.
The advantages of this material over cement-based terrazzo include: a wider selection of colors, 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch (.63 cm to .95 cm) installation thickness, lighter weight, faster installation, impermeable finish, higher strength, and cracking less.
The disadvantage of epoxy resin based terrazzo is that it can only be used inside, not outside buildings.
Epoxy-based terrazzo will lose its color and slightly peel when used outdoors.
Cement-based terrazzo will not.
In addition to marble aggregate blends, other aggregates have been used such as mother of pearl and abalone shell.
Recycled aggregates include: glass, porcelain, concrete and metal.
Shapes and medallions can be fabricated on site by bending divider strips or off site by water-jet cutting.
When the terrazzo is thoroughly dry (or cured in the case of thin-set terrazzo), helpers grind it with a terrazzo grinder, which is somewhat like a floor polisher, only much heavier.
Slight depressions left by the grinding are filled with a matching grout material and hand-troweled for a smooth, uniform surface.
Terrazzo contractors then clean, polish, and seal the dry surface for a finish that shines.
Venetian construction workers invented terrazzo for use as a low cost flooring material using leftover marble chips from upscale jobs.
The workers would usually set them in clay to surface the patios around their living quarters.
Consisting originally of marble chips, clay, and goat milk (as the sealer), production of terrazzo became much easier after the 1920s and the introduction of electric industrial grinders and other power equipment.
Newly-set terrazzo will not look like marble unless it is wet.
So, they used the goat's milk to act as a sealer and preserving the wet and marble-like look.
Archaeological
Archaeologists use the word terrazzo to describe the floors of early neolithic buildings (PPN A and B, ca.
9,000–8,000 BC) in Western Asia, that are constructed of burnt lime and clay, colored red with ochre and polished.
The embedded crushed limestone gives it a slightly mottled appearance.
In the early Neolithic settlement  of Cayönü in eastern Turkey ca.
90 m² of terrazzo floors have been uncovered.
The floors of the PPN B settlement of Nevali Cori  measure about 80 m².
They are 15 cm thick, and contain  about 10-15 % lime.
Terrazzo and sustainability
Terrazzo flooring is an original recycled product, created centuries ago by Venetian workers using the waste chips from slab marble processing.
Today Terrazzo continues to provide environmentally friendly durability and low maintenance, typically lasting the life of the building.
With no volatile organic compounds (VOC), it earns further point on indoor air quality ratings.
Recycled content is still a standard feature of modern terrazzo.
Durability is at the core of green construction.
Terrazzo flooring can be refinished repeatedly, reusing instead of replacing materials.
It can be restored to its original luster at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
Even century-old floors have generally proven need little more than minor repairs and refinishing to return them to their original beauty.
Terrazzo flooring (both cement and thin-set epoxy) also requires only minimal, low-cost maintenance.
Routine maintenance should be no more than dry and damp mopping, with an occasional spray buffing.
Waxing or chemical cleaners only serve to cloud or damage the finish.
Annual stripping and resealing can be done with water-based products.
Terrazzo is composed of naturally occurring aggregates, recycled glass or plastic and processed cement or epoxy binders.
The binders constitute 25-30 percent of the volume of a floor; the remainder is composed of aggregates, pigments and fillers.
Both cement-based and thin-set epoxy Terrazzo systems are made of zero VOC materials.
Terrazzo produces little or no off-gassing over the life of a cured floor.
The non-porous Terrazzo finish resists microbial growth and moisture.
The potential for local sourcing is another environmental strength of Terrazzo.
Manufactured on site, Terrazzo installations generally produce minimal post-commercial waste and save on transportation costs.
On typical projects, Terrazzo can realistically contribute to five LEED credits: MRcr4 (2), MRcr5 (2) EQcr4 (1).
Terrazzo may also potentially contribute to MRcr1 (1), and in extreme cases, ldcr1 (1), for a total of eight points.

In physics, and electronics, the henry (symbol H) is the SI unit of inductance.
It is named after Joseph Henry (1797–1878), the American scientist who discovered electromagnetic induction. (
In England,  Michael Faraday (1791–1867) discovered the same thing independently.
They discovered it at about the same time.)
The magnetic permeability of a complete vacuum is 4π×10−7 H/m (henry per meter).
The National Institute of Standards and Technology provides guidance for American users of SI to write the plural as henries.
People do not capitalize unit names.
If the rate of change of current in a circuit is one ampere per second and the resulting electromotive force is one volt, then the inductance of the circuit is one henry.
Other equivalent combinations of SI units are as follows:
F = farad
J = joule
Ω = ohm

Maccabi Tel Aviv Football Club (; Moadon Kaduregel Maccabi Tel Aviv) is an Israeli football club.
It is one of the oldest clubs in Israeli football.
The club is also the most successful.
They have won 18 championships, 22 national cups, 2 Asian Champions Cups  and 3 Toto cups.
The homeground of the team is the Bloomfield Stadium in Tel Aviv, where also the city rival Hapoel Tel Aviv is playing.
It was the first Jewish football club in Ottoman Palestine.
The name was then Rishon Lezion-Yafo.
The first match was a 3-0 win against a team of French sailors.
After the foundation of Tel Aviv in 1909 the clubs name was changed into Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Maccabi was founding member of the  Palestine Football Association and the Palestine League.
In 1936 the club was invited to play in the United States.
On the way Maccabi played in France versus Racing Paris and Olympique Lille.
In the United States they played against an All-star team of New York City at Yankee Stadium.
Maccabi also defeated the American Soccer League team in Brooklyn and Philadelphia on their home ground 1–0.
Other matches were against St. Louis Stars and the Boston Celtics.
They played also in Canada, where they drew 1–1 with Toronto All-Stars.
In 1939 they played 18 matches in Australia.
The 1950s decade is considered to be their "golden age" because they won 5 league championships and 4 cups.
The club was almost relegated in 1976 but beat Beitar Jerusalem in the relegation play-off.
In the 2011/12 season they reached the group stage of the UEFA Europa League.
The team played versus PSV Eindhoven, Rapid Bucharest and Legia Warsaw.
They failed to reach the next stage (2 wins, 1 draw, 3 lost).

A ceiling balloon is used by meteorologists to determine the height of the base of clouds above ground level during daylight hours.
The principle behind the ceiling balloon is a balloon with a known ascent rate (how fast it climbs) and determining how long the balloon rises until it disappears into the cloud.
Ascent rates yield the ceiling height.
was a Japanese supercentenarian and at the time of her death the oldest living Japanese person for over one and a half year after (nowadays disputed) Kame Chinen's death on 2 May 2010, just eight days before her claimed 115th birthday, and the second-oldest living person in the world behind the over 12 weeks older Americanwoman Besse Cooper (since 21 June 2011 when Cooper became the oldest living person).
Cooper and Hasegawa were, after the death of Italianwoman Venere Pizzinato who was just three days younger than Hasegawa and died 4 months before Hasegawa, the last two living people born in 1896.
Hasegawa died of natural causes at 8.28am on 2 December 2011, just twelve days after celebrating her 115th birthday and 22 days before Koto Okubo's 114th birthday, and was succeeded as the oldest living Japanese person by Jiroemon Kimura, who later became the oldest man ever as well as the so far only man and also the first Japanese person to become at least 116 years old after Tane Ikai, and as the oldest living Japanese woman by Koto Okubo.
Hasegawa, Kimura and Okubo were the first three Japanese persons who became 115 years old after 116-year-old Tane Ikai's death in July 1995.

Shantungosaurus meaning "Shandong Lizard" is a genus of hadrosaur found in the Upper Cretaceous Wangshi Formation of the Shandong Peninsula in China, either an Edmontosaurus but larger.
It is the longest and largest known hadrosaur.
The skeleton of a medium-sized individual mounted at the Geological Institute of China in Beijing is  in length, and the type skull is  long.
The weight of this genus is estimated at up to .
With a composite mounted skeleton 16.6 meters long (54.5 ft) it is the largest known ornithischian and the largest non-sauropod dinosaur.
Like all hadrosaurs its beak was toothless, but its jaws were packed with around 1,500 tiny chewing teeth.
A large hole near its nostrils may have been covered by a loose flap, which could be inflated to make sounds.
First described in 1973, Shantungosaurus is known from at least five incomplete skeletons.

Rhabdodontids were herbivorous ornithopod dinosaurs from the Cretaceous.
They were similar to large, robust hypsilophodonts, with deep skulls and jaws.
The family were defined as "the most recent common ancestor of Zalmoxes robustus and Rhabdodon priscus and all the descendants of this common ancestor".
In 2005, Paul Sereno defined the family as "the most inclusive clade containing Rhabdodon priscus but not Parasaurolophus walkeri".
The Rhabdodontidae includes the type genus Rhabdodon, Zalmoxes, Mochlodon, and possibly Muttaburrasaurus.
Rhabdodontid fossils have been found in Europe and Australia in formations from 100 to 65 million years ago.
The White Citizens' Council was an American group of people who believed that white people were better than black people (white supremacy).
It began on July 11, 1954.
After 1956, it was called the Citizens' Councils of America.
With about 60,000 members, mostly in the South, many people knew the group because it opposed racial integration during the 1950s and 1960s.
It responded to integration efforts with economic boycotts and other intimidation against black activists, including depriving them of jobs.
The WCC was a part of the "massive resistance" in the South against court decisions that required racial integration.
Federal civil rights legislation passed in the mid-1960s over the opposition of the WCC.
By the 1970s, the federal government was working hard to enforce those laws.
So, the influence of the WCC dropped very much.
People in the WCC went on to found the Council of Conservative Citizens in the 1985.

The United States Naval Academy (also known as USNA, Annapolis, or Navy) is a four-year coeducational federal service academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft began it in 1845.
It is the second-oldest of the United States' five service academies.
It educates officers mostly to join the United States Navy and Marine Corps.
The  campus is on the former grounds of Fort Severn where the Severn River flows into Chesapeake Bay.
It is about  east of Washington, D.C. and  southeast of Baltimore, Maryland.
The entire campus is a National Historic Landmark.
The campus has many historic sites, buildings, and monuments.
One monument is the Herndon Monument, once a year the upper three classes add grease and challenge the freshmen to reach the tip (usually unsuccessfully).
Candidates for admission generally must both apply directly to the academy and receive a nomination, usually from a congressman.
The candidates lacking in academics can potentially receive a nomination to the Naval Academy Preparatory School located in Newport, Rhode Island.
Students are officers-in-training and are called "Midshipmen".
The Navy pays for the Midshipmen's college expenses in exchange for the students serving in the military upon graduation.
About 1,300 "plebes" enter the Academy each summer for the orientation program, this class consists of not only high school students but also enlisted Sailors and Marines.
Only about 1,000 Midshipmen graduate after the four years.
Graduates are usually commissioned as Ensigns in the Navy or Second Lieutenants in the Marine Corps, and occasionally as officers in the US Air Force, US Army, and U.S. Coast Guard.
The academic program grants a bachelor of science degree.
Midshipmen get grades on a broad academic program, military leadership performance, and mandatory participation in competitive athletics.
Midshipmen are required to adhere to the Academy's Honor Concept.
On 3 June 1949 Wesley A. Brown became the first African-American to graduate.
On 8 August 1975, Congress authorized women to attend service academies.
The class of 1980 was inducted with 81 women midshipmen.
Annapolis has a very broad sports program.
All students must play at least one sport each semester, either at intramural (within the school) or intercollegiate (against other schools) level.
The intercollegiate sports teams are known as the Navy Midshipmen.
Most of the Academy's teams play in the Patriot League.
The football team plays at the top level, known as Division I FBS, in the American Athletic Conference.

In physics, the weber (symbol: Wb; , , or ) is the SI unit of magnetic flux.
A flux density of one Wb/m2 (one weber per square meter) is one tesla.
The weber may be defined in terms of Faraday's law, which relates a changing magnetic flux through a loop to the electric field around the loop.
A change in flux of one weber per second will induce an electromotive force of one volt (produce an electric potential difference of one volt across two open-circuited terminals).
In SI base units, the dimensions of the weber are (kg·m2)/(s2·A).
Many times, the weber is expressed in terms of other derived units as the Tesla-square meter (T·m2), volt-seconds (V·s), or joules per ampere (J/A).
1 Wb = 1 V·s = 1 T·m2 = 1 J/A = 108 Mx (maxwells).
The criticism of Buddhism is much like the criticism of any other religion.
It is mainly done by people who do not agree with what the religion says and what it believes.
The criticism often comes from agnostics, skeptics, materialist philosophy, people who follow other religions, or by Buddhists who want change.
Not true to Buddhist principles
Criticisms include some beliefs that are only found in some Buddhist cultures and institutions.
These are not all true to original Buddhist principles.
Sam Harris, a New Atheism supporter, and believers in Buddhist meditation say that many followers of Buddhism treat it as a religion in the wrong way.
They say that their beliefs are often "naive, petitionary, and superstitious". ("
Petitionary" means making a petition, or a request, as when asking for help.)
They think this stops the followers from living the true Buddhist principles.
Some critics say Buddhist followers and leaders have been interested in property and money.
They think that they are corrupt and are more interested in wealth and power rather than Buddhist principles.
There have been many sex scandals involving teachers in Western Buddhist groups.
War and violence
Michael Jerryson believes Buddhism has been connected to government since its start.
He thinks that the inability to understand the idea of a country without Buddhism leads to a kind of religious nationalism.
He feels this is found in many Buddhist conflicts.
In medieval Southeast Asia, there were many Buddhist states.
These included the Pagan Kingdom, the Sukhothai Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Polonnaruwa.
In Sri Lanka, modern monks often took part in the politics of the country.
They did this even though the Buddha only believed in helping others make their own choice in the government.
Peace activists such as A. T. Ariyaratne have also used Buddhism for ways of doing things.
East Asian Mahayana Buddhists also often get money from the government.
The Zen priest Brian Daizen Victoria wrote in his book Zen at War that Buddhist groups justified Japanese militarism.
He said they helped the Japanese Army on the battlefield.
Because of the book, several groups said sorry for their actions.
Accusation of violence
After the 2008 problems in the Tibetan area of the PRC, China claimed that the Dalai Lama helped to create the problems and violence.
A Chinese spokesperson said that a large number of guns and explosives had been found in monasteries in the capital of Tibet.
Buddhism has been criticized because it treats women as less than men.
This mainly deals with women monks.
Most schools of Buddhism have more rules for Bhikshuni (nuns) than bikshu (monks).
Buddhists say that in the time of the Buddha, nuns had more problems like their safety.
Monks often traveled in the forest and between cities.
Because of this, more rules were created for nuns, for instance: nuns are not allowed to travel alone.

The iguanodonts are members of the proposed group (superfamily) Iguanodontia.
This is a group of ornithopod families which some palaeontologists think are closely related:
Iguanodontidae
Camptosauridae
That is all the ornithopods except for the small, fast-running Hypsilophodon.
This is placed in the family Hypsilophodontidae.
However, the important reference work Vertebrate Paleontology is not yet in support of this trend, and lists the families separately as Ornithopods.
The proposal is therefore still under discussion.

Dark adaptor goggles are used in the field of meteorology.
They are used for either adapting the eyes to the dark before an observation at night or to help with the identification of clouds during bright sunshine or glare from snow.
The goggles are designed to be worn inside but some people find walking, especially up and down stairs, to be hard.

The Digital Visual Interface (or DVI) is a video interface standard.
It is used to send video between a source (such as a personal computer) and a display (such as a monitor).
This interface cannot be used to transmit audio unless it is connected to a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) converter.
HDMI and DVI use the same protocol for signalling, named Transition-minimized differential signaling.
The DVI standard has is widely used in the personal computer industry.
Many desktop personal computers and monitors can use it.
Most desktop personal computers and liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors sold in stores today have more than one video interface, including DVI.
Many other devices (such as projectors and televisions) can use DVI as part of HDMI.
HDMI is a newer video interface standard.
Many laptops still have an old-fashioned VGA connector.
Many models in the 2010s have HDMI ports.
Fewer laptops have DVI.
DVI was created by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG).
It was created to replace the "legacy analog technology" VGA connector standard.
DVI is designed to carry uncompressed digital video data to a display.
It works very well with the HDMI standard in digital mode (DVI-D), and VGA in analog mode (DVI-A).
It is also found in some television sets even though it has been widely replaced by HDMI.
