A bread roll is a piece of bread, usually small and round and is usually a side dish.
Bread rolls are most times used in the same way as sandwiches are - cut in half, with items like butter placed between the two halves.
There are many names for bread rolls, especially in local versions of British English.
These were named depending on how the dough was made and how the roll was cooked.
Bread rolls are common in Europe, mostly in Germany and Austria.
They are also common in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, and very common in Canada.
In Germany and Austria, there is a large variety of bread rolls, ranging from white rolls made with wheat flour, to dark rolls containing mostly rye flour.
Many variants include spices, such as coriander and cumin, nuts, or seeds, such as sesame seeds, poppy seed or sunflower seeds.
An Italian form of bread roll is a small loaf of ciabatta which can be used to make a panino (or panini).
In Denmark and Norway, rolls are called rundstykker (literally "round pieces") and are comfort food eaten with butter for special weekend breakfasts.

The MP-40 (German: Maschinenpistole 40) (English: Machine pistol 40), is a type of sub-machine gun.
It is also known as the Schmeisser for Hugo Schmeisser, who designed other weapons but not this one.
It was developed in the late 1930s and was first used in the early 1940s.
It was used by the German Military during World War 2.
It fired 9mm bullets and had a 32-round magazine.
The weapon could only fire in full-automatic fire, but since the weapon had such a slow rate of fire of 500 rounds per minute, it was possible to fire individual bullets.
It was one of the first weapons made completely out of plastic and steel, making it both cheap and quick to make.
The design was so good and so reliable that British soldiers would often ditch their own Sten sub-machine guns and use the MP-40 instead.
This would not have been a big problem since both weapons fire the same type of bullet and clip.

Jive (dance): A dance, one of the International Latin dances.
Jive Records: a record company.
Jive (dialect): African American Vernacular English.
Jive is a dance, one of the five International Latin ballroom dances.
It originated in the United States from African-Americans in the early 1940s.
It is a lively and uninhibited variation of the earlier forms of Swing dance such as the Jitterbug.
Jive is danced in 4/4 time, and in competition at a speed of 44 bars per minute.
It differs from Rock 'n Roll (dance) in having a syncopated chassé.
Steps are counted 1, 2, 3 & 4, with 3 & 4 as the chassé.
American soldiers brought Lindy Hop/Jitterbug to Europe around 1942, where this dance quickly became popular among the young.
In the United States the term 'Swing' became the most common word used to describe the dance.
In the UK variations in technique led to styles such as Boogie-Woogie and Swing Boogie, with 'Jive' gradually emerging as the generic term.
The famous ballroom dancing guru, Alex Moore, said that he had "never seen anything uglier".
English instructors developed the elegant and lively ballroom Jive, danced to slightly slower music.
In 1968 it was adopted as the fifth Latin dance in International competitions.
The modern form of ballroom jive in the 1990s-present, is a very happy and boppy dance, the lifting of knees and the bending or rocking of the hips often occurs.

Leader: Normally the male

A dirge is a sad song or poem of unhappiness.
They are usually sung at funerals.
For example, a dirge was sung for the soldiers that had died in the Battle of Gettysburg before Abraham Lincoln delivered his Gettysburg Address.
The word dirge came from the Latin word dirige, which means "direct".
It is likely that dirge also came from the old expression Dirige, Domine, Deus meus, in conspectu tuo viam meam ("Direct my way in your sight, O Lord my God"). "
Dirge", meaning to direct, is the same as a "dirigible" ("steerable") airship.
These two words became connected in 1937 because of the Hindenburg disaster.
Benediction is a short prayer for help and blessings from God.
They are usually delivered at the end of a worship service.

A kind of benediction that is often done in both Roman Catholic and Protestant churches is for the worship leader to raise his hands and say the Biblical Priestly Blessing ().
This was made popular by Martin Luther in his Deutsche Messe (German Mass).
It is a tradition in most Lutheran Churches.
F. Scott Fitzgerald also wrote a short story called Benediction in 1920.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)  is a guide to grouping mental disorders.
It is published by the American Psychiatric Association.
It is used in the United States and around the world by doctors, researchers, health insurance companies, companies which make medicine, and others.
There have been five revisions since it was first published in 1952.
Each time, more mental disorders were added, although some have been removed and are no longer seen as mental disorders.
An example of this is homosexuality.
The manual was developed from systems for collecting census and psychiatric hospital statistics, and from a manual written by the US Army.
A lot of changes were made to it in 1980.
The last time it was greatly changed was the fourth edition ("'DSM-IV'"), published in 1994, but small changes to text were made in a 2000 version.
The fifth edition ("DSM-5") was published May 2013.
The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, ICD, has a section about mental and behavioral disorders which is different from the DSM.
The ICD, not the DSM, is the system used by the United States government.
B cells are lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell.
Once the B cell is activated, it turns into a plasma cell, and starts producing antibodies.
They are a vital part of the adaptive immune system.
They have a protein on the B cell's outer surface known as a 'B cell receptor'.
This allows a B cell to bind to a specific antigen.
to make antibodies against antigens,
to perform the role of antigen-presenting cells (APCs),
to develop into memory B cells after activation by antigen interaction.

The performing arts are those forms of art in which individual people perform separately or together.
The artist's own body, face, and presence is needed for the performance.
Performance art differs from the plastic arts, which use materials such as clay, metal or paint which can be moulded or transformed.
A plastic art produces some physical art object.
The term 'performing arts' first appeared in the English language in the year 1711.
Types of performing arts
Artists who participate in performing arts in front of an audience are called performers, including actors, comedians, dancers, magicians, musicians, and singers.
Performing arts are also supported by workers in related fields, such as songwriting and stagecraft.
There is also a specialized form of fine art in which the artists perform their work live to an audience.
This is called performance art.
Most performance art also involves some form of plastic art, perhaps in the creation of props.
Dance was often referred to as a plastic art during the Modern dance era.
Music focuses on three career paths, music performance, music education, and musicology (theory, history, etc.).
Students learn to play musical instrument, but also study music theory, musicology, history of music and musical composition.
In the arts tradition, music is also used to broaden skills of non-musicians by teaching skills such as concentration and listening.
Drama (Greek 'to do', 'seeing place') is the branch of the performing arts concerned with acting out stories in front of an audience.
It uses speech, gesture, music, dance, sound and spectacle—indeed any one or more elements of the other performing arts.
In addition to the standard narrative dialogue style of plays, theatre takes such forms as musicals, opera, ballet, illusion, mime, Indian dance, kabuki, mummers' plays, stand-up comedy, pantomime, and non-conventional or arthouse theatre.
Dance (from Old French dancier) generally refers to human movement either used as a form of expression or in a social, spiritual or performance setting.
'Dance' is also used to describe methods of non-verbal communication (see body language) between humans or animals (bee dance, mating dance), motion in inanimate objects (the leaves danced in the wind), and certain music genres.
The definition of what is dance depends on society, and ranges from  folk dance to codified, virtuoso techniques such as ballet.
In sports, rhythmic gymnastics, figure skating, ice dancing and synchronized swimming are dance disciplines.
Some martial arts have dance-like moves.
History of Western performing arts
Starting in the 6th century BC, the first recorded performing art began in Ancient Greece, ushered in by the tragic poets such as Aeschylus and Sophocles.
These poets wrote plays which, in some cases, incorporated dance (see Euripides).
Aristophanes is noted for his satyrical comedies (5th century BC).
By the 6th century AD, the Western performing arts died out as the Dark Ages began.
Between the 9th century and 14th century, performing art in the West was limited to religious historical enactments and morality plays, organized by the Church in celebration of holy days and other important events.
Steve Brookstein (born 10 November 1968) is a British soul and jazz singer from London.

Albert Charles Paul Marie Roussel (5 April 1869 - 23 August 1937) was a French composer.
Roussel spent seven years as a midshipman.
He only turned to music as an adult.
But he then became one of the most important composers of the years between the two world wars.
His earlier music came from the impressionism of Debussy and Ravel.
He turned more towards neoclassicism with his later music.
Albert Roussel was born in Tourcoing (Nord department of France).
HIs earliest interest was not music.
It was mathematics.
He spent some time in the French Navy.
In 1889 and 1890 he served on the crew of the frigate Iphigénie.
These travels were significant to his later career as a composer.
This is because many of his musical works would reflect his interest in far-off and interesting places.
After Roussel left the Navy in 1894, he began to study music with Eugène Gigout.
He continued his studies until 1908 at the Schola Cantorum (one of his teachers there was Vincent d'Indy).
While he studied, he would also teach at the Schola.
His fellow students were Erik Satie and the young Edgard Varèse.
After the war, he bought a summer house in Normandy.
This is where he gave most of his time to composing music.
Roussel was a classicist.
Some of his first works are very much like impressionism.
But he soon found a style fit just for him.
This style had a strong rhythmic sound.
The Schola Cantorum left a mark on Roussel's mature writing.
Compared with the style of other French composers like Gabriel Fauré or Claude Debussy, Roussel's orchestration is rather powerful and heavy.
Roussel also liked jazz.
He wrote a piano-vocal composition called Jazz dans la nuit.
This has a lot in common with other jazz-influenced works such as the "Blues" second movement of Maurice Ravel's Violin Sonata.
Roussel's most important pieces include his ballets.
They are Le festin de l'araignée, Bacchus et Ariane, and Aeneas.
Among his other works are four symphonies (the Third is the most often played), a piano concerto, a concertino for cello and orchestra, a psalm setting for chorus and orchestra, music for the theater, solo piano music, and songs.
He died in the town of Royan in western France in 1937.
That is the same year that his countrymen Ravel, Charles-Marie Widor, and Gabriel Pierné died.
Arturo Toscanini included the suite from the ballet Le festin de l'araignée in one of his concerts with the NBC Symphony Orchestra.
Georges Prêtre recorded this same music with the Orchestre National de France for EMI in 1984.

A veil is a soft covering of all or part of the face.
It has often been used by women in many cultures.
It is often used by brides on their wedding day.
It may have religious meaning, or it may be used for pleasure or dance.
It is different from a mask because a mask is close-fitting, and often firm or hard, while a veil is soft and may fit loosely.
Veils as communication
Veils are a kind of non-verbal communication.
They always have some kind of unspoken message.
Some kinds of veil include a hood which covers the entire head, like a hijab.
The point of covering the head entirely is to cover all parts which have any sexual meaning.
A woman's hair is one of her secondary sexual characteristics, and acts (with her face, body and personality) to attract the opposite sex.
Some religious groups believe that female sexuality should not be shown in public.
The most important part of the head (for the viewer) is the face, because the human face takes part in communication.
Covering it says, in effect, 'this person is not available'.
That is why it has been used so often by women.
Because it is of soft material, the veil may be lifted back over the head or unclipped from one side.
This is also a signal.
It says 'now I am available'.
So brides lift their veil at the point when they are married.
Veils may be, and often are, partly transparent.
This adds ambiguity and mystery to the 'message' it offers the viewer; it is a 'fashion statement'.
The raising or dropping of veils is a sign of intimacy: the wearer, who was covered, is now in the open.
In an extreme example, the idea of a "Dance of the Seven Veils" originates with the 1893 English translation of Oscar Wilde's 1891 French play Salome in the stage direction.

The Asian tiger mosquito, or forest day mosquito is a kind of mosquito that is native to tropical and subtropical South-East Asia.
It has black and white striped legs, and small black and white striped body.
The Asian tiger mosquito is about 2 to 10 mm long.
The males are about 20% smaller than the females.
In the last few decades, the species has spread to many other countries, mainly through the transport of goods.
Many communities see this species as a pest.
Unlike other mosquitos, the Asian tiger mosquito associates with humans.
Other mosquitos tend to live in wetlands.
The Asian tiger mosquito is also active during the day, while most other mosquitos are only active during dusk and dawn.
French Island is a large island in Western Port, Victoria, Australia.
It is 61 km southeast of Melbourne.
In 1997 about 70 per cent of the island was made the French Island National Park.
It has also been listed as part of the National Estate.
In 2002, the waters on the north coast were made into the French Island Marine National Park.
Even though it is close to Melbourne, French Island is relatively isolated and undeveloped.
There is no water or electricity supply, or medical services on the island.
There is one small shop and post office on Tankerton Road about 3 km from Tankerton Jetty.
There is a number of places to stay, including camping, bed and breakfasts, guest houses, and the McLeod Eco Farm which was once a prison.
An Australian aboriginal clan, Bunarong Tribe lived and hunted on French Island.
The first Europeans to discover the island were the French in April 1802.
A group from the ship, La Naturaliste, explored the area naming it Île de Françoise, (French Island).
In 1847 the first settlers, William and John Gardner, started farming on the island.
In the 1880's, koalas were released on to the island.
In the 1890's the government set up several small villages.
Farmers began to grow chicory, and about 30 chicory kilns were built.
On July 17, 1916 the McLeod Prison Farm opened and continued until 1975.
In 1967, the State Electricity Commission (SEC)wanted to build the first nuclear power plant in Australia on French Island
Tankerton Post Office opened on 3 September 1890 and closed in 1994.
It reopened in 2001 under the name French Island.
A Fairhaven office was also open from 1911 until 1957.
Nuclear power plant site
In 1967, the SEC told the Lands Department to keep 400 acres of French Island for future construction of a nuclear power plant.
The plant, to be built in the 1970's, would generate 350-500MW of electricity.
More nuclear power plants would be built in Australia once there was a successful, fully operational plant in Victoria.
The SEC also planned to build more brown coal power stations as well.
Due to the low cost of brown coal in Victoria and pressure from the anti-nuclear movement, the SEC decided not to build a nuclear plant and instead continued to build brown coal plants.
These included the Hazelwood Power Station, which was completed in 1971.
Nuclear plants were not built in New South Wales, as access to black coal allowed for bigger generators.
The declaration of various areas of many Australian states as nuclear free zones was a key factor in the selection of coal plants over nuclear plants.
There is easy access to the island by train and ferry.
People can take a train from Melbourne to Frankston.
From Frankston there is a diesel locomotive service to Stony Point.
It is a short walk along the jetty to catch the passenger ferry to Tankerton jetty on French Island.
It is also possible to catch a passenger ferry from Cowes on Phillip Island.
In 2006 there were 89 people living on French Island.
In 2009,there were five students at the primary school.
Natural Environment
Habitats range from coastal mangroves, swamps, heath, grasslands and blue gum forests.
Most koalas on the mainland of Australia suffer from the chlamydia disease.
French Island provides the world's most dense and disease free group of koalas.
They are often moved to repopulate diseased areas on the mainland.
Shelter is provided for more than 100 species of bush orchids, and 260 species of birds.
Significant species on the island  include: King Quail, the critically endangered Orange-bellied Parrot, Fairy Tern, White-bellied Sea Eagle, Swamp Skink, Long-nosed Potoroo.
The island is one of only two places in Victoria where there are no  foxes.
Because of this, the island has kept a variety of native species which have been devastated by the fox in other areas.
However rabbits, feral cats, feral goats, feral pigs, Indian Mynahs and starlings pose a threat to the island's biodiversity.
As the only cars used on the island are by residents, the network of more than 40 km of gravel roads and tracks are quiet and ideal for cycling.
The island is generally flat or mildly undulating with the highest point being Mt Wellington (96 m).
Bicycles can be hired from the General Store, Macleod Eco Farm and Bayview.
There are many walking tracks.
Other activities include bushwalking, bird watching, horse riding, cycling, and as a base for deep sea fishing.
There is one free camping site in the National Park at Fairhaven, 4 km up the coast road from Tankerton Jetty, where the ferry arrives from Stony Point.
The camp site is set among trees near the beach, with one public toilet and a water tank.
Other camping is available at "private sites" at Bayview and McLeod Eco Farm by arrangement.

Carbon paper is a special kind of paper that can be used for copying.
On one side, the paper is coated with dry ink, which is usually bound with a kind of wax.
It is usually put between two sheets of paper.
When pressure is applied from the first sheet, some ink is transferred to the second one.
The copy that is produced that way is called carbon copy.
Because it relies on pressure, the technique is limited to only four or five copies.

Hildesheim is a district (Landkreis)  in Lower Saxony, Germany.
It is surrounded by the districts of Hanover, Peine, Wolfenbüttel, Goslar, Northeim, Holzminden and Hamelin-Pyrmont.
The Aryan race is an idea that was formed in the 19th and 20th centuries.
The term "Aryan" comes from the Rig Veda and is the name of an ancient group of people in ancient Persia and India, who spoke an Indo-European language.
It has been used to describe people of Iranian and Indian descent, but there was no record of Aryans in European history.
Later it was used for Germanic peoples because of new ideas about the Aryans.
The term Aryan comes from the ancient Sanskrit word ārya, which was a term used by Sanskrit speaking people to distinguish themselves from other races.
The Iranians also used the terms, and the name Iran means "land of the Aryans".
The idea of an Aryan race was first used as a category of people but was later used by occult movements such as Theosophy.
It was also later used by Nazis and white supremacists in racist ways.
The ideology of Nazism was based upon the idea of the Aryan race or Germanic peoples being a master race.
The Nazi view of the Aryan race came from earlier racial theorists such as Arthur de Gobineau and Houston Stewart Chamberlain.
As the leader of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, became set in his ways, he decided with proclamations that some other groups of people were also Aryans along with Germanic peoples.
He declared Hungarians to be "Aryan" in 1934, the Japanese were made officially "Aryans" in 1936, and the Finns were officially added in as "Aryans" by his proclamation in 1942.
However, Nazi Germany did not regard Slavs as "Aryans", but as inferiors and non-Aryan.
They were usually vague as to whether Italians were "Aryan", although Italy under Mussolini had a "Manifesto of Race" in 1938 that said they were.
Occult belief
Theosophy, a mystical occult society founded in 1875 by Helena Blavatsky believes that the Arabian people and the Jews are a part of the Aryan race.
It is believed by Theosophists that the Arabians used the Semitic languages of the people around them.
These people had moved to the area from Atlantis.
Theosophists claim that the Jews began as a part of the Arabian subrace in what is now Yemen around 30,000 BC.
They moved first to Somalia and then to Egypt where they lived until the time of Moses.
The Aryan Invasion Myth
The 56 Annual Eurovision Song Contest was held in Düsseldorf (Germany), due to Germany's first place with their singer Lena Meyer-Landrut with her song "Satellite" in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Oslo (Norway).
Like previous years, a system of two semi-finals was used: the first on 10 May and the second on 13 May 2011.
The final was on the evening of 14 May 2011.
The winners were Ell & Nikki with their song Running scared, they represented Azerbaijan.
On 12 October 2010, the German broadcaster, Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) announced that the Esprit Arena of Düsseldorf as the venue of the Eurovision Song Contest 2011.
Germany has already held the Eurovision Song Contest.
The first in 1957 in Frankfurt am Main and the second in 1983 in Munich.
Since 1998 and the victory of the United Kingdom the year before, it is the first time that a country of the "Big Five" (Germany, France, Spain, United Kingdom & Italy (since 2011)) will held the Eurovision Song Contest.
Bidding Phase
23 cities of Germany participated to the bidding phase of the venue for the 56 Annual Eurovision Song Contest.
Eight cities showed interest of hosting the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 : Berlin, Hamburg, Hanover, Gelsenkirchen, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Frankfurt, Munich.
On 21 August 2010, NDR announced that four of those cities had officially applied to host the 2011 Contest :
Berlin : In a hangar near the former Tempelhof Airport
Düsseldorf: Esprit Arena
Hamburg: Hamburg Exhibition Centre
Hanover: Hanover Exhibition Centre
The five countries that are part of the "Big Five", along with the host of the contest, automatically qualify for a place in the final.
But Germany is both the host of the 2011 edition and a member from the "Big Five".
To answer this question of if a country will qualify directly for the final (maybe the second of the 2010 Contest), the EBU held a meeting in Belgrade (Serbia).
And it was decided that the existing rules will remain in place, and that the number of participants in the final will simply decreased from twenty-five to twenty-four.
On 31 December 2010, the EBU published the official list of the participants for the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest and which stated the return of Italy, Austria, San Marino and Hungary.
And thanks to the return of Italy twenty-fiv countries will participate for the final of the 2011 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest.
On 16 December 2010, NDR revealed the presenters of the 2011 edition : Anke Engelke, Judith Rakers, and Stefan Raab.
It will be the third time that three people have hosted the contest after 1999 and 2010.
And the second time in a row.
Pot allocations
To determine the semi-final running orders for the Eurovision Song Contest, participating nations were split into six pots on 17 January 2011.
