The first was with director Csupó, writer Jeff Stockwell, and producer Hal Lieberman.
The second was with producer Lauren Levine and actors Hutcherson and Robb.
Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes said 85% of 137 collected reviews for Bridge to Terabithia were positive.
The average score was 7.1/10.
Critics said the movie was "a faithful adaptation of a beloved children's novel and a powerful portrayal of love, loss, and imagination through children's eyes.
Dynamic visuals and natural performances further enhance the imaginative film".
At Metacritic, the movie got 74 out of 100 from 25 reviews.
This meant it received "generally favorable reviews".
James Berardinelli of ReelViews called Bridge to Terabithia "easily the best family feature of the early year".
Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post praised the script.
She said it was "utterly recognizable and authentic", and thought Robb and Hutcherson were "perfectly cast".
Hornaday said the final five minutes showed "oversweet sentiment."
Viewers would remember the film's "warmth and respect with which it pays homage [respect] to first love," she added.
Jessica Grose of The Village Voice praised director Csupó for not showing "cutesy tween [neither a child, nor a teenager] stereotypes."
She felt Jess' relationship with his father made Bridge to Terabithia from "a good kids movie to a classic contender".
The New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis believed that the fantasy was kept in the background "to find magic in the everyday", and thought Csupó directed "like someone intimate with the pain of being different, allowing each personality more than a single characteristic".
She particularly praised Deschanel and Madison.
Catsoulis said the movie handled adult topics with "with nuance [cleverly] and sensitivity".
Since it was smart and "delicate as a spider web", it was the kind of children's movie "rarely seen nowadays".
Miriam di Nunzio of the Chicago Sun-Times praised Hutcherson and Robb's performances. "[
T]he film's heart and soul rests on the abilities of its young lead characters to make us really see the world through children's eyes.
The dynamic duo of Hutcherson and Robb do not disappoint," she noted.
Not all reviews were positive.
Claudia Puig of USA Today said "for a movie about the power of imagination, Bridge to Terabithia is not as clever as you would hope".
Puig said it was an average translation of the novel.
But the adult characters were too caricatured or exaggerated in the movie.
The real-life portions of the movie were "derivative and simplistic", but Jess' emotional feelings seemed "powerfully authentic, and this is where the movie finds its truth and soul".
The Wall Street Journal critic Joe Morgenstern felt the movie overused fantasy.
The critic added that the "agreeable simplicity in between computer-generated monsters".
The young members of the cast were "appealing but unpolished".
Morgenstern thought Csupó lacked experience in direction.
Although Deschanel was the best among the adults, she seemed self-directed.
It won five of these.
Josh Hutcherson was nominated at the 2008 Saturn Awards for "Best Performance by a Younger Actor".

An eternal flame is a flame that burns for a very long time.
They are used for creating a powerful symbol.
There was an eternal flame in the ancient Greek temple at Delphi.

A terrestrial planet is mostly made of rock (silicate).
Earth is the "original" terrestrial planet.
When astronomers started understanding the kinds of planet they extended the term to include our nearest rocky neighbours: Mercury, Venus and Mars.
It is often said that they are similar to Earth.
This is true of most of the structure and composition, but not the surface or the atmosphere.
A terrestrial planet may be much hotter or colder than Earth, and may have much more or much less atmosphere.
All terrestrial planets have a core, a mantle, and a crust.
They are a bit like a boiled egg: the central yolk is the core; the white albumin is the mantle; and the shell is the crust.
The crust of a terrestrial planet is thin, with the core and the mantle taking up the vast bulk, sometimes with a very large core, sometimes much smaller.
Terrestrial planets have metallic cores of mostly iron, with rocky mantles and crusts.
The Moon is similar, but has a much smaller iron core.
Io and Europa are also satellites that have internal structures similar to that of terrestrial planets.
Terrestrial planets can have canyons, craters, mountains, volcanoes, and other surface structures, depending on the presence of water and tectonic activity.
Terrestrial planets have secondary atmospheres, got from volcanism, meteorites, and photosynthesis.
In the giant planets, their atmospheres are primary, captured directly from the original solar nebula.

Cheating can be done in many ways.
Some students cheat on a test by copying someone else's answers and writing secret notes.
This can get them kicked out of school.
People who break the rules of a game are cheating.
For example, if someone holds the ball when playing soccer, they are cheating.
Another form of cheating in sport is using performance-enhancing drugs; Ben Johnson and Lance Armstrong are examples of sportspeople who used drugs to cheat.
Local and national governments have laws.
If someone breaks the law, they can be punished.
If someone cheats in a way that is not illegal, they cannot be punished by law.
Some common punishments include jail and fines.
Organizations, such as schools, can have rules.
Rules are not laws, but people can still be punished for breaking a rule.
The first cheat in video games was thought to be the "Konami Code", a code Konami used to test a game that was too hard for them to do alone.
See cheat code for more on cheating in video games.

Mania is a type of mood.
Mania is usually a symptom of a medical problem or a mental illness.
A person with mania is described as manic.
When people are manic, they usually have much more energy than usual.
They often have very strong emotions, and their moods may change very quickly.
The word "mania" comes from the Greek language (μwordsανία means mania).
That word comes from μαίνομαι (mainomai), which means "to rage" or "to be furious" (very angry).
Mania is a symptom, not an illness by itself.
Many different things can cause mania.
These things include illegal drugs and brain tumors.
However, most of the time, mania happens in people with bipolar disorder.
Bipolar disorder causes periods of mania that switch off with periods of depression.
Like with other symptoms, mania can be mild (not very bad), severe (very bad), or anywhere in between.
Mild mania is usually called "hypomania."
Very bad mania can cause psychosis, with hallucinations and delusions.
In some cases, people with mania may need to be hospitalized so they do not hurt themselves or other people.
On the other hand, many people with mania and hypomania have special creativity and artistic talents.
A mood that is either euphoric (very happy) or irritable (easily irritated or angered)
Being very talkative.
This includes talking very quickly (pressured speech) and jumping from one idea to the next very quickly (flight of ideas).
Having an unusual amount of energy
Not needing sleep
Being very hyper
Racing thoughts, which can sometimes make it impossible for the person to concentrate on anything other than their thoughts
Acting impulsively (doing things without thinking them through), like spending a lot of money or having unsafe sex.
People are more likely to put themselves in danger when they are manic.
Physical symptoms, like sweating, pacing, and losing weight
Hypersexuality (wanting to have sex much more than usual)
Delusions, like:
Delusions of grandeur: The person believes he is very important - for example, that he knows everything, or is famous, all-powerful, or very wealthy
Delusions of potential: The person believes he can do things he cannot really do (for example, believing he can build a house on his own, when he has never built anything before)
Delusions of persecution: The person believes other people are "out to get him" and are causing his problems on purpose
Official diagnosis (DSM-5)
In the United States, a book called The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), published by the American Psychiatric Association, is used to diagnose mental illnesses.
According to the latest version of the DSM, the DSM-5, a person is having a "manic episode" if all of these things are true:
The person's mood has been unusually euphoric or irritable for seven days or more
The person's mood changes are not caused by illegal drugs, medicine, or a medical illness
The person's mania is:
Causing them obvious problems at work, with family, or friends; OR
Making them psychotic; OR
Making them a danger to self or others
Inflated self-esteem or grandiosity (the person feels like he is very important and special)
Needs only a little sleep to feel rested
More talkative than usual; or the person seems like they have to keep talking (pressured speech)
Jumping from one idea to another; or the person feels like their thoughts are racing
Increase in "goal-directed activity," like taking on big new projects; or "psychomotor agitation" (moving around a lot, unable to sit still)
Being easily distracted (the person's attention is drawn too easily to things that are not important)
Doing a lot of activities that have a high risk of turning out badly (for example, spending a lot of money; going on sexual adventures)
Official diagnosis (ICD-10)
The ICD-10 is the World Health Organization's system for classifying health problems.
It describes a manic episode this way:
The person's mood is euphoric, and can change from being happy and carefree, to "almost uncontrollable excitement"
The person has an unusual amount of energy and is always doing some kind of activity
The person seems like they have to keep talking
The person does not seem to need sleep
The person cannot pay attention to anything, and gets distracted very easily
Often, the person feels very important, is much more confident than usual, and has unreasonable ideas about what they can do (for example, they may feel like nothing can stop them from getting what they want)
The person does not have normal social inhibitions (a sense of what is right and appropriate to do around other people).
This can lead to behavior that is inappropriate, reckless, and unusual for the person.
Mania is usually a symptom of mental illness, most often bipolar disorder.
A diagnosis of type I bipolar disorder (bipolar I disorder) can be made based on a single manic episode.
This is the most common cause of mania.
Mania is usually caused by a mental illness.
However, some medical illnesses can cause symptoms of mania.
Some doctors use the mnemonic E-MANIC to remember the possible medical causes of mania:
Endocrine: Hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, or Cushing's syndrome can cause mania.
(These are all problems with hormones in the body)
Medications: Many different medications can have mania as side effects.
These medications include amphetamines (often used to treat Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD); antidepressants; corticosteroids; opiate painkillers, and many others.
Abuse of alcohol or illegal drugs: Alcohol and many other drugs can cause mania.
These drugs include cocaine, amphetamines, phencyclidine (PCP), lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), inhalants, opiates, anabolic steroids, and MDMA (Ecstasy).
Neurologic problems: Many different problems with the brain can cause mania.
For example, brain tumors, brain injury, multiple sclerosis, and Huntington's disease can all cause manic symptoms.
Infection: Infections in the brain can cause mania.
Examples include meningitis, brain infections caused by HIV/AIDS, and neurosyphilis (the last stage of syphilis, when the disease reaches the brain)
Cardiovascular causes and Cerebrovascular accidents (strokes)
Doctors usually treat mania with a combination of mood stabilizers and antipsychotic medicines.
While taking these medicines, the patient should see their doctor regularly to be checked for side effects.
When the symptoms of mania have ended, long-term treatment then focuses on preventative treatment.
The goal of this kind of treatment is to prevent periods of mania or depression from happening.
Very often, this is done using a combination of drugs and psychotherapy.
Medication works best for bipolar disorder, and other mental illnesses, when it is combined with other treatments like psychotherapy.

Andrea del Verrocchio (c. 1435 – 1488), born Andrea di Michele di Francesco de' Cioni, was an Italian sculptor, goldsmith and painter.
He had an important workshop in Florence.
Many other Renaissance painters were Verrocchio's apprentices or worked in his workshop.
These included Botticelli, Ghirlandaio and Perugino.
Verrocchio's most famous apprentice was Leonardo da Vinci.
Verrocchio was born in Florence in 1435.
His father was Michele di Francesco Cioni who was not married to Verrocchio's mother.
Michele made tiles and bricks.
Later he worked as a tax collector.
He worked for the Medici family of bankers, then he moved to Venice.
When Verrocchio was born, he was named Andrea di Francesco di Cioni.
His name was changed to Andrea del Verrocchio when he was apprenticed to a goldsmith called Verrocchio (who was probably Francesco di Luca Verrocchio, who was very rich and successful).
As an apprentice to a goldsmith, Verrocchio learnt how to make jewellery and golden tableware such as plates, dishes, jugs and salt containers.
He learnt how to hammer gold into thin sheets called "gold leaf" and use it to decorate picture frames, statues and illuminated manuscripts.
He also learnt how to make bronze statues.
Verrocchio's bronze statues are his most famous works.
At this time Verrocchio met Donatello.
Donatello became one of the most famous sculptors ever.
He made many more statues than Verrocchio.
However, Donatello and Verrocchio both made a statue of David with the head of Goliath, and both made a huge statue of a famous soldier on horseback (equestrian statue).
Art historians often compare the two Davids and the two equestrian statues.
It is thought that Verrocchio began painting in the 1460s, when he worked at Prato with the painter Fra Filippo Lippi.
There is only one known painting that was signed by Verrocchio.
This is an altarpiece of the Madonna and Child with Saints in the Cathedral of Pistoia, painted in the late 1470s.
There are several more paintings from Verrocchio's studio.
They have probably been painted partly by Verrocchio and partly by his students.
The most famous of these paintings was done between 1472 and 1475.
It is a Baptism of Christ.
Giorgio Vasari writing in his book Lives of the Great Artists says that the angel on the left was painted by Leonardo da Vinci.
Vasari says that when Verrocchio saw how beautifully the eighteen-year-old apprentice could paint, he put down his brush and never painted again.
On close examination, it can be seen that most of the painting is painted in old-fashioned tempera, but the angel, parts of Jesus' body, and the background landscape have been painted in the new technique of oil painting.
This makes art historians think that Leonardo worked on many parts of this picture.
It has also been suggested that Botticelli painted the second angel.
Verrochio made two large beautiful things out of stone, a coffin and a wash basin.
He is thought to have also carved a Madonna and Child in low relief (an almost-flat stone picture).
Verrocchio's most famous sculptures are made in bronze which is a sort of metal.
To make a bronze statue, Verrocchio made the statue in wax.
Then plaster was put over the wax, and the wax was removed, leaving a mould.
The metal was heated over a furnace until it melted and became molten (liquid).
The molten metal was poured into the mould and slowly allowed to cool.
When the plaster was chipped away, the bronze statue was inside.
The statue then needed to be finished and polished.
Work at San Lorenzo
The Church of San Lorenzo (St Lawrence) was a new church in Florence.
It was built by the architect Brunelleschi in the new style of the Renaissance.
The Medici family were the most important patrons of this church.
The family chose Verrocchio as the sculptor to make three works for San Lorenzo.
In 1465 Verrocchio made a wash basin for the room of San Lorenzo's where the robes and Communion vessels were kept. (
It is now called the "Old Sacristy".)
Above the basin is carved an eagle, the symbol of St John the Evangelist.
On the bowl of the basin is carved the Medici coat of arms.
Verrocchio then had to design a tomb for Cosimo, the famous banker, and grandfather of the Medici family.
In the early 1470s Lorenzo de' Medici gave him the job of designing the tomb of Lorenzo's father Piero and uncle Giovanni.
The tomb that Verrocchio designed was very unusual.
He made a large "sarcophagus" (stone coffin) out of beautiful dark red stone, trimmed with green stone and sculptured leaves of bronze.
Instead of being placed against a wall in the usual way, the tomb was designed to stand in an archway leading into the Sacristy.
Verrocchio designed a net that looks as if it is made of rope, but is made of bronze.
This network makes a screen in the archway, so that people who look at the tomb can see through into the sacristy.
Christ and St Thomas
The most unusual church in Florence is Orsanmichele.
This building is an ancient corn-market that had, painted on the wall, a precious image of the Madonna and Child.
The corn-market was turned into a church, and the sides of the building, which used to be open, were given walls.
The walls had niches which is a hollow that a statue can stand in.
The niches were big enough for life-sized statues.
Many people worked at different jobs in the city of Florence.
The people of different jobs belonged to organisations called guilds.
Every important guild in the city wanted to have a statue of their patron saint in a niche at Orsanmichele Church.
The statues were made by some of the finest sculptors of Florence.
In 1466 the Guild of Traders gave Verrocchio the job of making a bronze statue of their saint, St Thomas.
Verrocchio made a group of two figures which shows the most important moment in the story of St Thomas.
At the back of the niche stands the figure of Jesus, raising one hand to Heaven.
St Thomas stands at the edge of the niche, looking at Jesus in amazement and reaching out his hand to touch the spear-wound in Jesus' side.
Verrocchio's statue was admired for the way in which he had fitted the two figures into the space, and the way in which he had told the story.
At about this time Verrocchio also made a huge brass candlestick for the Palazzo Vecchio (the town hall).
This candlestick is now in Amsterdam.
In the 1470s, Lorenzo Medici and his brother Giuliano gave Verrocchio the job of making a statue of David.
David, a shepherd boy in a story from the Bible, had killed the giant, Goliath.
He was one of the patrons of the city.
Nowadays there are at least eight statues of David in Florence, the most famous one being by Michelangelo.
When Verrocchio made his statue, the most famous David in Florence was a life-sized bronze statue by Donatello.
This statue shows David naked, except for his boots and hat.
The figure stands gracefully, looking down at the giant head at his feet.
It looks very much like an Ancient Greek statue.
Verrochio's statue of David is very different, even though it is a similar size and is also made of bronze.
Verrocchio's statue looks like a real-live boy, dressed in modern parade clothes.
He does not stand elegantly.
His muscles are all drawn tight.
He grips the handle of the sword so tightly that the sinews of his arm stand out.
The muscles of his face are pulled into the silly grin that people sometimes get when they are very frightened.
Verrocchio's David has just killed the giant, but now he is facing the whole enemy army and wondering what will happen next.
The handsome boy that Verrocchio used as his model for David is believed to have been Leonardo da Vinci.
The Medici also gave Verrocchio the job of making a bronze statue of a Cherub with a Dolphin to go in the fountain of their home in the countryside.
The statue now stands in the small courtyard of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence.
In 1478 Verrocchio began work on his most famous statue.
It is a "equestrian statue", a statue of a man on horseback.
The statue was made for the Republic of Venice in memory of a famous soldier who had lead military troops many times when Venice was at war.
His name was Bartolomeo Colleoni, and he had died in 1475.
Colleoni was admired by many people who thought he was a good man, as well as a brave soldier and great military leader.
Colleoni left a message to say that he wanted a statue of himself in the main square of Venice, right opposite St Mark's Basilica.
The town council would not allow this.
The statue was put in another important square, near the Hospital of St Mark and the Church of two Roman soldier-saints, St Giovanni and St Paolo.
When Verrocchio started making this statue, there had been only one big equestrian monument made in more than a thousand years.
Donatello had made an equestrian statue of another soldier, who was nicknamed Gattamelata ("the Smug Cat").
Verrocchio must have looked at Donatello's statue, which was in Padua and at the four ancient bronze horses that stood high on the front of St Mark's Basilica.
Verrocchio decided to make his horse do something which the St Mark's horses do, but Donatello's horse does not do.
The horses at St Marks all have one front hoof raised, so that they are perfectly balanced on only three legs.
Verrocchio's horse looks as if it is moving forward quite fast.
It is full of action.
The figure of Colleoni is not sitting down in the saddle, he is standing in the stirups, as if he is looking out to spot the enemy.
The horse's head turns one way, and the body and face of Colleoni turns the other way.
Colleoni looks fierce, as if he is leading his troops into battle.
The statue is very lively and very lifelike.
Verrocchio moved from Florence to Venice in 1488, to help with the casting of the bronze statue.
But he died that year, and never saw his most famous work finished.

Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that can infect almost all warm-blooded animals, including humans.<ref name=Dubey>Dubey J.P. 2010.
Toxoplasmosis of animals and humans.
2nd ed, CRC Press.
In humans, it is one of the most common parasites.
Blood test show that up to a third of the world population has been or is infected with T. gondii.
Infection rates differ greatly from country to country.
Although mild, flu-like symptoms occasionally occur during the first few weeks, infection with T. gondii generally produces no symptoms in healthy human adults.
But in infants, HIV/AIDS patients, and others with weakened immunity, infection can cause serious and occasionally fatal illness (toxoplasmosis).p77
by eating raw or undercooked meat containing T. gondii tissue cysts.
by drinking water or eating anything contaminated with oocysts.
in the faeces of an infected animal.
from a blood transfusion or organ transplant
or by transmission from mother to foetus across the placenta.
The parasite can only sexually reproduce in the intestines of members of the cat family (felids).
Felids are therefore the definitive hosts of T. gondii'', with all other hosts defined as 'intermediate hosts'.

The Falklands War was a war between the United Kingdom and Argentina over the Falkland Islands in 1982.
The Falkland Islands are 480 kilometres from Argentina in the southern Atlantic Ocean.
Argentina and the United Kingdom have argued over which country the Falklands Islands belongs to since the 1800s.
In the 1760s and 1770s, the British set up a town at Port Egmont, which nearly led to a war with Spain who had a town at Port Louis.
Then Argentina became a separate country from Spain in 1817 and set up a colony on the islands (which they call "Malvinas") in 1820.
An American warship later destroyed this town, and the British took the islands again in 1833.
The United Nations Security Council asked Argentina to withdraw, and tried to end the crisis with diplomacy.
After seven weeks, Argentina did not withdraw, so the British Armed Forces traveled 8000 miles to attack.
After a short battle in the air and at sea, the British landed on 21 May and fought on land until Argentina's army surrendered on 14 June.
The British captured 11,313 soldiers, and killed about 650.
Almost half of these Argentinian deaths were when the warship ARA General Belgrano was sunk by the British submarine HMS Conqueror.
In total there were 258 British deaths.
Relations after the war
The relations between the two countries were damaged because of the war.
Relations between the two countries came back in 1990.
The red kangaroo (Macropus rufus) is the largest kangaroo.
The word macropus means "big foot" and rufus means red.
It is the largest mammal in Australia, and the largest marsupial in the world.
It lives in the arid open areas of Australia which covers much of the country.
It is not found in the south, on the east coast, or in the northern rainforests.
The red kangaroo is a very large kangaroo.
The fur is short, red to brown in colour, fading to a pale colour below and on the legs.
Females are smaller than males and are a blue-grey colour with a small amount of brown, pale grey below, although arid area females are coloured like males.
The kangaroo has long, pointed ears and a squared-off nose.
The kangaroo has two front legs with small claws.
It has two strong back legs, which are used for jumping, and a strong tail which is often used for balance when standing upright.
The tail is also used as a fifth leg when walking slowly.
The males can jump a distance of  in one leap.
Males grow up to  tall and weigh up to .
Females are   tall and weigh up to .
The tails is about  long.
There are often reports of larger red kangaroos, with some males reaching about  tall.
The red kangaroo is able to keep its body cool (36 °C, 96.8 °F) in a hot climate.
Its fur acts to insulate the body and during the heat of the day the kangaroo will rest and stay in the shade.
It also control its temperature by panting (breathing hard), sweating and licking its front legs.
The red kangaroo's range of vision is about 300° because of the position of its eyes. (
A human's range of vision is about 180°).
The red kangaroo is nocturnal and crepuscular, and spends the day sleeping or resting in the shade.
It is active in the cool of the evening and at dawn.
It lives alone or in small groups called 'mobs'.
Membership of these groups often changes, and males  are not territorial.
The largest males control most of the matings and chase off other males.
The Red Kangaroo eats grasses and other vegetation.
It can go without water, as they are able to get enough  moisture out of plants.
The red kangaroo breeds all year round.
The gestation period is around 33 days.
The females are also able to delay birth of their baby until their previous joey has left the pouch.
The young joey leaves the pouch at around 235 days old, but will continue to suckle until it reaches 1 year of age.
When male kangaroos fight, they look like they are "boxing".
They usually stand up on their back legs and attempt to push the other  off balance by jabbing him or locking front legs.
Using their tail to support their weight, they can also kick with their powerful back legs.
Commercial use
The red kangaroo is hunted in large numbers in Australia.
In the year 2000, 1,173,242 animals were killed.
In 2009 the government put a limit of 1,611,204 for the number of red kangaroos available for commercial use.
The kangaroo industry is worth about AU$270 million each year, and employs over 4000 people.
The kangaroos provide meat for both humans and pet food.
Kangaroo meat is very lean with only about 2% fat.
Their skins are used for leather, and makes the lightest and strongest leather.
Around the world, nearly all professional soccer players wear boots made from kangaroo leather.
The Christ myth theory is a fringe theory, supported by few Biblical historians nor Biblical scholars.

There are different meaning used for the word myth.
Because of this, there are many different views about how Jesus could be a myth.
Urolagnia (also urophilia, undinism) is a paraphilia where people gain sexual pleasure from urine and/or urination.
The term has origins in the Greek Language (from ouron, urine, and lagneia, lust).
Those who enjoy urolagnia may enjoy urinating on other people, or being urinated on.
The practice of drinking the urine is called urophagia, although this word also applies to non-sexual situations.
People who practice urolagnia may participate in urolagnia as part of a domination and submission scene, though not all sexual activity involving urine is so.
These activities are often described with the slang terms golden showers, water sports, or piss play.
Urolagnia is sometimes associated with omorashi, but omorashi is usually described in Western culture using terms such as bladder desperation or panty wetting.
BDSM is an initialism for bondage/discipline (BD), dominance/submission (DS), and sadism/masochism (SM).
It means some kinds of sex play, sometimes these are called kink or fetish.
They all have to do with trying to get sexual pleasure out of things that are often painful or upsetting.
People try to do this in a safe way by agreeing on a "safe word".
If someone says this word the whole play stops.
This is to stop the play from going too far and causing real physical or emotional hurt.
BDSM and safety
Engaging in BDSM is riskier than practicing sex without the BDSM elements (often called "vanilla sex").
People doing BDSM follow a number of rules.
People enganging in BDSM derive pleasure from either inflicting or receiving pain.
They also do not want to give the impression that sex and violence are linked.
Before people engange in BDSM, they usually talk about each of the partner's wishes and fears.
They also talk about the things that they are going to do, and the order in which they are done.
Such detailed conversations are common.
As people get to know each other better, these conversations become more informal.
In addition, partitipants usually agree on a safe word; with this safe word, the action has to stop immediately.
Safe words are used to make sure BDSM is safe.
Sometimes one person thinks they are playing in an ok way, but the other person does not.
The person who does not think the play is ok will use a safe word or gesture to stop playing.
This means that the play must stop, so nobody gets hurt or injured.
What is also seen as a way of safety, is that after the session, the "top" is caring for the "bottom".
The actions may have released hormones, and it may take minutes to hours for the bottom to return to a normal state.
It is seen as a duty of the top to care for the bottom in this phase.
This also applies when sessions are interrupted.
Bondage and discipline
Bondage is the use of items like handcuffs, ropes or chains to keep a willing person from moving.
Bondage often has to do with sex, but not always.
Bondage is done because some people like the feeling of being not able to move while having sex.
In this case, bondage sometimes has to do with BDSM, as often in the case of rope bondage and bondage of the female breasts.
The letter "B" in BDSM stands for "bondage".
Bondage may also be done just because people may like the feelings it creates.
Some couples include bondage as foreplay in their otherwise traditional sex lives at some time during their relationship.
These bedroom bondage games are often with one partner willingly being restrained with rope or cuffs.
Sometimes they can also be blindfolded or gagged.
Dominance and submission
Domination and submission is a lifestyle.
Often it is seen as a form of erotic play.
Usually two people do this.
With this lifestyle or context, one of the two people has the dominant role.
He or she can tell the other (called submissive) to do things.
The submissive has to obey.
The roles are usually agreed on beforehand.
The submission is voluntary.
Sadomasochism may be seen as a variation of domination and submission.
A person who plays both roles is called a switch.

Cryptosporidium is a protozoan parasite which causes  outbreaks of diarrhea.
A number of species of Cryptosporidium can infect mammals.
The most common species to infect man is Cryptosporidium parvum.
The diarrhea can become severe in children, and in people whose immune system is weakened.
It is often found in HIV patients who have diarrhea.
In healthy adults, the infection is usually brief.
It is difficult to identify in the laboratory.
The oocytes can be seen under a microscope, but they may be confused.
Most cryptosporidia are 3-6 μm in size, but some reports have described larger cells.
New real-time monitoring can detect Cryptosporidium better than the older spot testing and batch testing methods.
