A Druid was a member of the priestly and learned class in the pre-Christian, ancient Celtic societies.
These societies existed through much of Western Europe, until the Roman government took over and, later, Christianity arrived.
Druids were part of the cultures of the tribal peoples who were called "Keltoi" (Κέλτοι) or "Keltai" (Κέλται) and "Galatai" (Γαλάται) by the Greeks and "Celtae" and "Galli" by the Romans.
In the communities they served, druids combined the duties of priest, arbitrator, healer, scholar, and magistrate.
Both men and women served as druids, although there is no early proof for female druids, or druidesses.
From what little we know of late druidic practices, it appears deeply traditional and conservative, in the sense that druids were conserving the old culture and lore for their communities.
It is impossible now to judge whether this continuity had deep historical roots and originated in the social transformations of the late La Tène culture, or whether there had been a discontinuity and then a religious innovation.
Greek and Roman writers on the Celts commonly made at least passing reference to druids, though before Julius Caesar's report merely as "barbarian philosophers"; They were not concerned with ethnology or comparative religion and consequently our historical knowledge of druids is very limited.
Druidic lore consisted of a large number of verses learned by heart, and Caesar remarked that twenty years were required to complete the course of study.
Druidic culture are believed to be practicers of rituals and such magic, Druids were believed to be a neutral people they were known as Druid(ae) similar to priests and scholars believed to have studied rituals of Human sacrifice and Familiars (Known currently as a form of a pet from a practicer; Witch, Druidae, Warlock).
The Druidic culture was believed to have some form of religious complication.

Druidism or Druidry (referred to as Neodruidry or Neodruidism by some followers) is a Celtic form of modern spirituality that generally promotes harmony with nature, often through the form of nature worship.
It is considered to be a Neopagan faith.
Beliefs and Practises
Neo-druidic beliefs vary wildly, and there is no set dogma or belief system by which all adherents follow.
Main beliefs include the Earth and nature are sacred, and is worthy of worship itself.
For this reason many druids are pantheistic, animistic, or polytheistic.

Rajputs constitute one of the major Hindu Kshatriya groups from India.
They claim descent from ancient royal warrior dynasties of Kshatriyas.
They are identified with the word "Rajanya" found in ancient Indian literature and trace their roots to Rajputana or Rajputstan (India).
In ancient times the son of a king was referred as to Rajput- Raja-putra. (
Lit - king's son - Prince)
The Rajputs consist of 36 different clans.
These are divided into three different lines of descent (called vanshas).
Suryavanshi - descendants of the sun god, Surya.
Chandravanshi - descendants of the moon god, Chandra.
Agnivanshi - descendants of the fire god, Agni.

A Metcard is a type of ticket used to use public transport in Melbourne, Australia.
It allows the holder to use Trains, Trams and Buses, in two zones (Zone 1 and Zone 2).
Zone 1 covers areas close to the CBD, and Zone 2 covers the rest of the city.
There used to be a  Zone 3 , but that has been merged with Zone 2.
The ticket is about the size of a credit card, and contains a magnitic strip that tells a computer what type of ticket it is.
Metcard replaced a identical yet simpler system of scratchies used on the Melbourne public transport network.
Scratchies were easy to cheat and the system was eventually abandoned in 2002, but not before tickets for many years of use were printed.
Moves towards automated ticketing were first made by the then state Liberal Government in 1992.
Tenders were called for the design, supply, installation and on-going maintenance of such a system, with the 'OneLink Transit Consortium' announced as the preferred people to do it in September 1993.
The contract was signed in May 1994, with the major technology supplier being the ERG Group.
Testing of prototypes commenced in December 1993, and the roll-out of the system was carried out from August 1996 to April 1998, and acceptance occurred in November 1997.
Public field trials were carried out on buses from August 20 1996, and on rail services from September 18 1996.
The system commenced full revenue service from May 1998 at a cost of $330 million.
Contractual issues between OneLink and the Victorian Government were not settled until May 2002 with the payment of up to $65 million in a staged settlement.
Controversy surrounded Metcard at its introduction, due to it costing to much, the abolition of tram conductors and the unreliability of ticket purchasing and validation machines.
The machines were attacked by vandals frequently (often by pouring liquids into the coin slot), and have seen several revisions to their design since.
Consistent with the privatisation ethos of the government of the day, Metcard's operation was entirely outsourced, with the transport operators (at that time government-owned) having nothing to do with the system.
Metcard even had its own website and branding which became stronger than the anonymous and constantly renaming government then privatised operators.
An study released by the State Government in 2001 showed over 1 in 4 (27.2%) of the machines at train stations did not work, and 11.9% of mobile equipment in buses and trams was non-operational.
The State Government renegotiated with ticketing network contract operator OneLink Transit Systems to improve the service to commuters.
Following these improvements, a 2002 audit showed an increase in availability of machines to 92.1% at train stations, and 98.3% on buses and trams.
Usability was also improved, with tram machines able to sell daily tickets.
Furthermore, vandalism across the network dropped by 62% between 2001 and 2002.
V/Line tickets were aligned with the Metcard system in April 2006, with each V/Line ticket to stations in the Metcard area having the relevant zones printed on them.
In March 2007 the Nightrider bus service was also brought under the Metcard system.
Zone 3 was removed from the Metcard system (and merged into zone 2) on March 4 2007, due to a State Election promise made by Opposition Leader Ted Ballieu and matched by then Premier Steve Bracks.
The original Metcard contract with OneLink was to last nine years, expiring in March 2007.
In 2005 the contract was changed to permit the system to be extended and changed as work on the replacement myki project keeps going, with the contract being able to be cancelled on six months notice.
Types of Metcards
Most Metcards can be purchased in Zone 1; Zone 2 and Zone 1 + Zone 2 types, with them being valid within their respective zones.
All Metcards, except for the City Saver Metcard, are valid for muplitle trips on Trains, Trams and Buses.

Daily (valid for one days travel)
City Saver (valid for a single trip within the city center)

Piety (from the Latin word pietas, meaning "devout" or "good") is generally used to refer either to Religious devotion or to spirituality.
A common element in most ideas of piety is humility, or a lack of pride.
It can also refer to a way to win the favor or forgiveness of God in Christianity.

Secondary sex characteristics are features which make it possible to tell the sexes of a species apart.
They are not directly linked to reproduction.
Well-known secondary sex characteristics in humans are the deeper voice, facial hair (mustache and beard) and more muscular build in men.
In women, those characteristics usually cited are more prominent breasts, lips, eyes, long/fast growing hair, no facial hair, wider hips, more fat, and generally a higher voice.
Faces, generally, make a big impact.
It is the part other people interact with.
However, the wider hips are needed to give birth.
Babies are born through the space between the three bones of a woman's pelvis.
So is doubtful to call this a secondary characteristic, except so far as the width helps attract mates.
Breasts are also essential, but in humans they are much larger in proportion to other mammals, and they do serve to attract males.
Evolutionary ideas
Charles Darwin thought that sexual selection, or competition within a species for mates explains many of the differences between sexes.
Behaviour, such as male-to-male combat and female choice of males is a kind of secondary sex characteristic.
Many 'ornaments' such brighter plumage, colouration, and other features have no immediate function except to improve the male's chances of being selected by females for breeding.
Weapons such as antlers may serve both as defence against predators, and as status symbols advertising health and fitness.

(from German poltern, meaning to rumble or make noise, and Geist, meaning "ghost", "spirit", or "embodiment") is a spirit or ghost that is able to move and influence objects.
Poltergeists are said to be invisible.
Poltergeists are said to bother only one person at a time.
This person is called their "focus".
Poltergeists will bother only their focus.
They are said to only last a few weeks, then will move on to another target.
Often poltergeists are reported around children and adolescents.
Some scientists think that poltergeists only exist in a person's head as a result of psychokinesis.
They think that the "poltergeist effect" is a result of mental trauma.
There is a 1982 movie called Poltergeist.
In Harry Potter there is a poltergeist named Peeves.
However, Peeves is not a classic poltergeist.
He can be seen and does not focus on bothering just one person.

The word is very common in several religions (for example, the mercy of God).

Tatnet (short for "Tatar Internet") is the name Tatar-speaking Internet users commonly use for the "segment of the Internet" about the Tatar people or Tatarstan.
It includes webpages and websites in many languages.
The first e-mail message in Tatar was probably sent and received in 1991 when employees of the Tatar-Bashkir Service of Radio Liberty/Radio Free Europe Inc. started using the Internet and electronic communication on a regular basis.
In 1994, a Tatar-language mailing list (TMG, standing for Tatar Mailing Group) was established and this year is commonly regarded as the birthyear of the Tatar Internet.
Since approximately 2000, Tatnet has been developing explosively, with many web pages and web sites added to it annually.
The existence of Tatnet continues to contribute tremendously to the cohesion and consolidation of the Tatar people, a significant achievement because Tatars are despersed all over the world and a substantial majority of Tatars live outside their ethnic homeland, Tatarstan.
Tatar Internet users employ Latin and Cyrillic scripts with the former gradually becoming more dominant.
Tatarstan is an autonomous republic within Russia.
The republic is about 800 kilometers (497 miles) east of Moscow.
It is between the Volga River and the Kama River (a tributary of the Volga), and extends east to the Ural Mountains.
Most of the people are Tatars,
The republic is in the center of the East European Plain.

The history of the Americas is the history of North and South America, including Central America and the Caribbean.
It begins with people migrating to these areas from Asia and possibly Oceania during the height of an Ice age.
These groups are generally believed to have been isolated from peoples of the "Old World" until the coming of Europeans in the 10th and 15th centuries.
The ancestors of today's Native Americans were hunter-gatherers who migrated into North America.
The most popular theory says that migrants came to the Americas via the Bering Land Bridge, Beringia, the land mass covered by the cold ocean waters in the Bering Strait.
Small Paleo-Indian groups probably followed the mammoth and other prey animals.
It is possible that groups of people may also have traveled into North America on shelf or sheet ice along the northern Pacific coast.
Cultural traits brought by the first immigrants later evolved and spawned such cultures as Iroquois on North America and Quechuas of South America.
These cultures later developed into civilizations.
In many cases, these cultures expanded at a later date than their Old World counterparts.
Cultures that may be considered advanced or civilized include: Zapotec, Toltecs, Olmec, Maya, Aztecs, and the Inca.
Pueblo people
The Puebloan peoples of what is now the Southwestern United States and northern Mexico, living conditions were that of large stone apartment like adobe structures.
They live in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, and possibly surrounding areas.
Chichimeca
Chichimeca was the name that the Mexica (Aztecs) applied to a wide range of semi-nomadic peoples who inhabited the north of modern-day Mexico, and had the same sense as the European term "barbarian".
The name was adopted with a negative tone by the Spaniards when they spoke of the semi-nomadic hunter-gatherer peoples of northern Mexico.
The Zapotec emerged around 1500 years BCE.
Their writing system influenced the later Olmec.
They left behind the great city Monte Alban.
The Olmec civilization emerged around 1200 BCE in Mesoamerica and ended around 400 BCE.
Olmec art and concepts influenced surrounding cultures after their downfall.
This civilization was thought to be the first in America to develop a writing system.
After the Olmecs abandoned their cities for unknown reasons, the Maya, Zapotec and Teotihuacan arose.
Maya history spans 3,000 years.
The Maya may have collapsed due to changing climate in the end of the 10th century.
The Aztec having started to build their empire around 14th century found their civilization abruptly ended by the Spanish conquistadors.
They lived in Mesoamerica, and surrounding lands.
Their capital city Tenochtitlan was one of the largest cities of all time.
Norte Chico
The oldest known civilization of the Americas was established in the Norte Chico region of modern Peru.
Complex society emerged in the group of coastal valleys, between 3000 and 1800 BCE.
The Quipu, a distinctive recording device among Andean civilizations, apparently dates from the era of Norte Chico.
The Chavín established a trade network and developed agriculture by as early as (or late compared to the Old World) 900 BCE according to some estimates and archaeological finds.
Artifacts were found at a site called Chavín in modern Peru at an elevation of 3,177 meters.
Chavín civilization spanned from 900 BCE to 300 BCE.
Known as , or "the land of the four regions," in Quechua, the Inca culture was highly distinct and developed.
Cities were built with precisely matched stonework, constructed over many levels of mountain terrain.
Terrace farming was a useful form of agriculture.
There is evidence of excellent metalwork and even successful brain surgery in Inca civilization.
Effects of slavery
Slavery has had a significant role in the economic development the New World after the colonization of the Americas by the Europeans.
Slaves helped build the roads upon which they were transported.
The cotton, tobacco, and sugar cane harvested by slaves became important exports for the United States and the Caribbean countries.

The Oregon Territory is the name that was applied first to the unorganized Oregon Country claimed by both the United States and Britain (but normally referred to as the Oregon Country).
In 1846 the two countries agreed to split this territory.
The organized U.S. territory formed from the southern part was also called "Oregon Territory" when it existed, between 1848 and 1859.
The Territory of Oregon was organized on August 14, 1848, by an act of Congress out of the U.S. portion of the Oregon Country below the 49th parallel north.
It originally included all of the present-day states of Idaho, Oregon and Washington, as well as Montana west of the Continental Divide, and Wyoming west of the Continental Divide and north of the 42nd parallel north—the northern border of the Mexican Cession.
The first territorial capital was in Oregon City.
The capital was later moved to Salem in 1851.
On February 14, 1859, the territory entered the Union as the U.S. state of Oregon within its current boundaries.
The remaining eastern portion of the territory (the portions in present-day southern Idaho and western Wyoming) was added to the Washington Territory.

A continental divide is a line of raised terrain that creates a border between two watersheds.
Water falling on one side of the line travels to one ocean, and water on the other side travels to another, perhaps on the other side of the continent.
Because the exact border between bodies of water is usually not very easy to see, the continental divide is not always clear.
The International Hydrographic Organization's publication Limits of Oceans and Seas describes the exact boundaries of oceans, but it is not recognized around the world.
A complication is that some rivers empty into deserts or inland seas, and so do not end up in the ocean.
Terrain, or relief, is the third or vertical dimension of land surface (aka "up and down" dimension.)
Topography has recently become an additional synonym, though in many parts of the world it retains its original more general meaning of description of place.
Terrain is used as a general term in physical geography, referring to the lie of the land.
This is usually expressed in terms of the elevation (height of the land,) slope (angle of the elevation,) and orientation of terrain features.
Terrain affects surface water flow and distribution.
Over a large area, it can affect weather and climate patterns
The First Baptist Church of Hammond (or FBCHammond) is a fundamental Independent Baptist church in Hammond, Indiana.
It is the largest church in the state of Indiana and one of the largest churches in the United States.
It was founded in 1887.
It was under Jack Hyles' leadership from 1959-2001 that it became a megachurch, one of the first in the United States, with a steady weekly attendance of around 20,000.
It also operates Hyles-Anderson College and two K-12 schools, named City Baptist Schools (for children of the bus route of the church) and Hammond Baptist Schools (for children of the members of the church).
Jack Schaap, Hyles' son-in-law, succeeded as pastor after Hyles' death for 11 years until he was fired in 2012 for having sex with a 16 year old girl.
First Baptist Church was founded in November 1887 by Allen Hill of Jennings County, Indiana.
Its first meeting was on 14 November 1887 with 12 members on the 28th.
However, it originally met in the Morton House Hotel which stood on what is currently the 100 block of Willow Court.
Allen Hill's was their pastor for around 4 months.
By April 1888, B.P. Hewitt became the church's permanent pastor and Allen Hill went on to start several other churches.
Needing more room, Hewitt moved the church's meeting place to the Hohman Opera House at the corner of State and Hohman streets.
In 1889, the church erected its own structure for $2,358 when Marcus Towle, Hammond's first mayor and a member of FBC, donated land on Sibley Street to the church.
On January 3, 1901, Pastor E.T. Carter proposed a new building, and the first service was held on 14 April 1901.
On 27 November of that same year, Pastor Carter announced his resignation for a job at the Central Baptist Orphanage in Michigan.

Robert Howard Grubbs (February 27, 1942 – December 19, 2021) was an American chemist.
He won Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2005.
In his Nobel Prize autobiography  he says, "In some places, my birthplace is listed as Calvert City, Kentucky and in others Possum Trot (both in Marshall County).
I was actually born between the two, so either one really is correct."
He spent his early childhood in Marshall County and attended public school at McKinley Elementary, Franklin Junior High and Paducah Tilghman High School in Paducah, Kentucky.
Grubbs studied chemistry at the University of Florida where he was awarded a B.S. and an M.S.. He worked with Merle Battiste in Florida University, and Columbia University, where he obtained his Ph.D. in 1968.
He was taught by Ronald Breslow in Columbia.
He next spent a year with James Collman at Stanford University.
He was then made part of the faculty at Michigan State University.
In 1978 he moved to California Institute of Technology where he still works as the Victor and Elizabeth Atkins Professor of Chemistry.
His main interest is for organometallic chemistry and organic chemistry.
These interests are for catalysts, such as Grubbs' catalyst for olefin metathesis and ring-opening metathesis polymerization and norbornene.
He also produced some important work on "living polymerization".
Grubbs died from a heart attack while receiving lymphoma treatment at a hospital in Duarte, California on December 19, 2021, at age 79.

It is a colorless gas with a strong smell.
Like other aldehydes, it is flammable and toxic.
It is the simplest aldehyde.
Its main application is as a disinfectant.
It is a biocide, this means it can kill most bacteria and fungi.
It is also used to make dyes, to make textiles, wrinkle-free preservatives, explosives, and certain polymers.
About 23 million tonnes (50 billion pounds) of formaldehyde was made worldwide in 2005.
On May 21, 2002, a worker in a explosive making factory dropped a lighter and the flame immediately spread to the formaldehyde, which in turn caused to fire to blaze abnormally.
This caused 17 known deaths and 39 known injuries.
These days, the chemical is used less frequently.
