Termites are a suborder of social insects, the Isoptera.
They are sometimes called "white ants", incorrectly, because ants belong to the Order Hymenoptera.
They are eusocial animals, as are ants and some bees and wasps.
Termites mostly feed on detritus, mostly wood, leaf litter, soil, or animal dung.
There are an estimated 4,000 species (about 2,600 taxonomically known).
About 10% are pests which can cause serious structural damage to buildings, crops or plantation forests.
Termites are major detrivores in the subtropical and tropical regions.
Their recycling of wood and other plant matter is very important for ecology.
A termite colony starts when winged termites (called alates) swarm and mate.
After mating, they fall to the ground and rip off their wings.
The female looks for a good place to start the colony, and the male follows her.
Most termites nest underground their entire lives, but termites in Africa and Australia actually build really big mound structures that look like little mountains and can be more than 20 feet tall (see photo below).
Termites live in colonies that, at maturity, hold from several hundred to several million individuals.
They are a prime example self-organised systems which use swarm intelligence.
They use this cooperation to exploit food sources and environments which would not be available to any single insect acting alone.
A typical colony contains nymphs (semi-mature young), workers, soldiers, and reproductive individuals of both genders, sometimes containing several egg-laying queens.

A Mantis (order Mantodea) is a type of insect.
They are usually known as praying mantids because of their prayer-like stance.
The group contains about 2,300 species.
They occur in temperate and tropical habitats.
Most are in are in the family Mantidae, and are called Mantids.
In Europe, the name "praying mantis" refers to only a single species, Mantis religiosa.
They are sometimes confused with phasmids (stick insects).
Life habit
Mantids are notable for their hunting abilities.
They are predators, and their diet usually consists of living insects, including flies and aphids.
Larger species have been known to prey on small lizards, frogs, birds, snakes, and even rodents.
Most mantids are ambush predators, waiting for prey to stray too near.
The mantis then lashes out at remarkable speed.
Some ground and bark species, however, pursue their prey rather quickly.
The movement of the head is also remarkably flexible.
It gives nearly 300 degrees of movement in some species.
This allows for a great range of vision (their compound eyes have a large binocular field of vision) without having to move the rest of the body.
As their hunting relies heavily on vision, they are mainly diurnal, but many species fly at night, when there is less chance of being taken by birds.
Mantids are masters of camouflage and most species make use of protective colouration to blend in with the foliage or substrate.
This helps to avoid predators themselves, and to better snare their victims.
They not only blend with the foliage, but mimic it, appearing as either living or withered leaves, sticks, tree bark, blades of grass, flowers, or even stones.
Some species in Africa and Australia are able to turn black after a molt following a fire in the region to blend in with the fire ravaged landscape (fire melanism).
Mantids bite, but have no venom, and are not dangerous to humans.
They are not chemically protected; nearly any large predatory animal will eat a mantis if it is able to detect it.
Mantids are generally quite aggressive towards one another, in fact, and most species are readily cannibalistic when given the opportunity.

Lepisma saccharina (commonly called the fishmoth, urban silverfish or just the silverfish) is a small, wingless insect.
Typically it is between half an inch and one inch (12–25 mm).
Its common name comes from the animal's silvery blue color, combined with the fish-like appearance of its movements.
The scientific name indicates the silverfish's diet of carbohydrates such as sugar or starches.
It belongs to the basal insect order Thysanura, and the species is estimated to have existed for over 300 million years, originating in the Paleozoic Era.
Often misidentified as a silverfish is the house centipede, another house-dwelling arthropod that exhibits rapid, fluid movement.
"Amazing Grace" is a poem written in 1772 by Englishman John Newton.
The poem named, "Faith's Review and Expectation", was where the song came from.
It was set to music.
A seventh stanza, by an unknown author, has been added to most versions since 1829, beginning with the words, "When we've been there ten thousand years".
In some versions, stanzas five and six to the song are cut and go directly to the seventh.
John Newton and the lyrics to Amazing Grace
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That sav’d a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev’d;
The hour I first believ’d!
Thro’ many dangers, toils and snares,
’Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
The Lord has promis’d good to me,
But God, who call’d me here below,
(Anonymous 1829 addition:)
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

The Lincoln Memorial is a memorial building.
It was built to remember Abraham Lincoln.
Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States.
He led the nation during the American Civil War.
The memorial is in the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and is a popular site for tourists.
The Lincoln Memorial was built to look like the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, Greece.
The main focus of the memorial is Daniel Chester French's sculpture of Lincoln, seated on a throne.
It is surrounded by thirty six columns which are  high.
There is a large reflecting pool right outside the steps.
A sculpture of Lincoln sitting on a chair is inside the Memorial.
The statue shows the President looking towards the reflecting pool and the Washington Monument.
The statue is 19 feet 9 inches (6 m) tall and  wide, and was carved from 28 blocks of white marble.
This is a complicated sentence and was written long ago.
It means that Abraham Lincoln will forever be remembered here, just like he will be remembered by the people of the United States, who he saved.
Lincoln's famous speech, the Gettysburg Address, is written into one of the walls at the Memorial.
There are also several murals on the other walls.
One of the murals shows an angel, and another one shows a slave being freed.
Famous events
Due to Lincoln being associated with freeing the slaves, the Memorial has been a center for civil rights protests in the United States.
In 1939, Marian Anderson sang there because she could not sing at Constitution Hall.
The Memorial has been used many times for famous events.
Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream speech was given on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
President Richard Nixon once met with protesters of the Vietnam War, who were at the Memorial.
A concert was given for President Barack Obama at the Memorial before he took office.
The Lincoln Memorial on U.S. currency
The Lincoln Memorial has been on the back of the United States penny (the one cent coin) for many years, as well as the five dollar bill.
Both have a picture of Lincoln on the front.

Archaeognatha is an order of wingless insects, also known as jumping bristletails.
They are among those insects which changed least during evolution.
They first appear in the Devonian period along with the arachnids (Spiders).
The name Archaeognatha is derived from Greek Archaeos meaning "ancient" and gnatha meaning "jaw".
This refers to the articulation of the mandibles, which has a single condyle, where all higher insects have two.
An alternate name, Microcoryphia comes from the Greek micro meaning "small" and coryphia meaning head.
The Order Archaeognatha has previously been combined with the Order Thysanura, or bristletails.
Both groups have three-pronged tails with two cerci and an epiproct.
Archaeognatha differ from Thysanura in that they are able to use their tail to spring up to 30 cm into the air.
Like Thysanura, the body is covered with scales, with a thin exoskeleton that is susceptible to dehydration.
There are approximately 350 species in the two families.
They are distributed worldwide, and unusual in the insect world in that they can even be found in the Arctic where they live in leaf litter and rock crevices.
They feed primarily on algae, but also lichens, mosses, or decaying organic materials.

WWE NXT is a professional wrestling promotion based in Winter Park, Florida.
It is the official developmental territory for WWE.
NXT was started as Florida Championship Wrestling, typically shortened to FCW Steve Keirn in 2007 to be WWE's second developmental territory when they ended their relationship with Deep South Wrestling in 2007.
It became their only developmental territory in early 2008 when they ended their relationship with Ohio Valley Wrestling.
FCW's first show was on June 26, 2007 in Tampa, Florida.
A 21 man Battle Royal was held during the show, with Harry Smith winning to become the first ever FCW Southern Heavyweight Champion.
The next year, the FCW Florida Heavyweight Championship was introduced, with Jake Hager becoming the first champion at a battle royal on February 15, 2008 and defeating Ted DiBiase, Jr.. The FCW Florida Tag Team Championship was also introduced in February, with the Puerto Rican Nightmares (Eddie Colón and Eric Perez) beating Steven Lewington and Heath Miller to win it in the finals of a tournament.
The two heavyweight titles were later unified, keeping the "Florida Heavyweight" name.
FCW regularly ran shows every Tuesday at Bourbon Street Nightclub, as well as shows on other nights at other venues in and around the Central Florida area.
As NXT Wrestling, it now runs live shows ar several locations around Florida.
In August 2012, WWE retired all FCW championship belts and changed the promotion's name to "NXT".
WWE had previously used NXT for a reality television program that featured FCW wrestlers trying to earn a WWE contract.
WWE NXT, which had been the name of the reality show, is now used as the title of their TV show.
Since it started a TV show at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida, NXT has had three championships: the NXT Championship, the NXT Tag Team Championship, and the NXT Women's Championship.
In January 2017, WWE held a tournament in England to determine the first ever WWE United Kingdom Champion.
The original plan was to have a WWE show in the UK, but the show has not premiered yet, so the championship is on NXT for now.

The blues scale is a hexatonic scale with minor pentatonic scale.
But because blues notes (or blue notes) have a different form, there can be no one blues scale.
As named in contemporary jazz theory, its use is based on the key and not the chord, unlike some chords in jazz.
The semitone differences for a blues scale  are 3-2-1-1-3-2 for instance- C-Eb-F-F#-G-Bb-C

Swarm Intelligence is a field of Computer science.
It is a form of Artificial intelligence.
Some animals, mostly insects like ants, or bees form large colonies.
These colonies are made of many animals that communicate with each other.
Each animal is relatively simple, but by working together with other animals it is able to solve complex tasks.
Swarm intelligence wants to obtain similar behaviour than that observed with these animals.
Instead of the animals, so called agents are used.
