Sigebert IV Plantard and Sigebert IV de Raze (c. 671 – 758) is a fictional prince of the Franks.
He is supposed to be the son of king Dagobert II and Gesela de Raze, a Visigothic princess.
According to the pseudohistorical Dossiers Secrets d'Henri Lobineau alone, he was had Visigothic and Basque lineage.
In 676, his father Dagobert II was murdered.
Sigebert was moved to Raze, in Aquitaine, by his sister, and took the name of Plantard.
At this time, Aquitaine was under the Visigoth and Basque influence.
In 758 he was dead, aged 88.
In some accounts, he was an ancestor of Geoffrey de Bouillon.
In fact, the story of Sigebert IV is only a hoax created by Pierre Plantard, who claimed to be a descendant of Sigebert IV.
Asked in 1993 by French Justice, he admitted the hoax.
Chlamydia is a genus of bacteria that are obligate intracellular parasites.
Chlamydia infections are the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infections in humans and are the leading cause of infectious blindness worldwide.
Clostridium difficile is a species of bacteria.
It is often called C. diff (pronounced "see diff").
It is a gram-positive bacteria which belongs to the genus Clostridium.
C. diff can live in the human colon (the large intestine) without causing any problems.
About 2-5% of adults have C. diff living in their colons.
However, in some people, C. diff causes serious illness.
In these people, C. diff bacteria grow out of control in the colon.
The bacteria attack the lining of the intestines.
This causes a problem called C. diff colitis.
Colitis is inflammation (swelling) of the colon.
C. diff infection is getting more and more common in hospitals, nursing homes, and other health care facilities.
It kills about 14,000 people a year just in the United States.
C. diff infection
The most common symptom of C. diff infection is severe diarrhea.
C. diff infection can also cause fever, belly pain, loss of appetite (not wanting to eat), and nausea.
Some cases of C. diff infection are not very serious.
In other cases, people get very sick and even die.
When people experience severe diarrhea from C. diff infection, they may become badly dehydrated (not have enough fluid in their bodies).
This can damage the kidneys leading to renal failure.
C. diff bacteria can also eat a hole in the intestines (perforation), which is very dangerous.
Once a person has C. diff infection, they can spread the infection to other people.
C. diff can live for a long time on surfaces like doorknobs, sheets, and medical equipment.
If a person with C. diff infection does not clean their hands, they can spread the bacteria to other people on their hands.
Who gets C. diff infection?
C. diff infection usually happens in people who are taking antibiotic medicine.
Usually, the intestines are filled with good, healthy bacteria.
These healthy bacteria keep C. diff bacteria under control.
If antibiotic medicines kill the healthy bacteria, C. diff bacteria can grow out of control.
C. diff infection is also more common in:
People in hospitals, nursing homes, and other health care facilities
People who are 65 years old or older
People with weak immune systems (in the body, the immune system is in charge of fighting disease)
People who have just had surgery on their intestines
People with colon problems, like inflammatory bowel disease or colon cancer
People who take antacid medicines called proton pump inhibitors.
(These medicines cause the stomach to make less acid.
Normally, stomach acid helps keep bacteria like C. diff under control.)
How is C. diff infection treated?
C. diff infection can be treated with some antibiotic medicines.
However, C. diff is an antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
This means that many antibiotic medicines cannot kill C. diff.
This can make C. diff infection very difficult to treat.
Many people with C. diff infection have relapses (they get better for a while, but then get sick again).
This happens to about one in every five people with C. diff infection.
Usually, doctors try an antibiotic called metronidazole as the first treatment for C. diff infection.
About three in every four people with C. diff infection get better after taking metronidazole for ten days.
When metronidazole does not work, doctors give other antibiotics, usually vancomycin or fidoxamacin.
Fecal transplantation, especially for those with recurrent C. diff infections, has been shown to be more effective than oral vancomycin.
How can C. diff infection be prevented?
Usually, C. diff infection can be prevented.
Hand-washing is one of the best ways to prevent C. diff infection.
If a person has C. diff bacteria on their hands, they can kill the bacteria by washing their hands with soap and water.
C. diff bacteria on surfaces (like doorknobs and medical equipment) can be killed with bleach.
Many hospitals and other health care facilities have special bleach wipes which kill C. diff.
Washing sheets and clothes with bleach and detergent also kills C. diff.
Alcohol does not kill C. diff, so instant hand sanitizer and alcohol wipes will not keep C. diff bacteria from spreading.
Hospitals and other health care facilities can also use "C. diff precautions" to prevent C. diff from spreading.
(Precautions are ways of being careful.)
When a patient has C. diff, health care workers can keep the bacteria from spreading by:
Using gloves and then washing their hands every time they touch the patient, the patient's things, or anything in the patient's room
Cleaning medical equipment with special bleach wipes every time they use it
Cleaning the patient's things and the patient's room with bleach
Giving patients with C. diff infection private rooms, or putting them only with other patients who have C. diff infection
Composite particles are subatomic particles that are made of more than one quark.
Simple particles like protons are actually composites of multiple quarks.
Protons are known as baryons, which means that they are made of exactly three quarks.
Baryons are in a family called Hadrons, which simply means that they are made of quarks.
The only other subcategory of Hadrons is Mesons, which are made of one quark and one antiquark.
Since they are made of quarks, composite particles are not so much hard balls, but rather like clouds that contain these quarks.
Depending on the energy contained by the quarks, the quarks of a proton vibrate, and this gives a proton a size larger than the actual size of the three quarks combined.
For more information see: subatomic particles, elementary particles, and the composite particles on the 'List of particles' wiki pages.

Clostridium perfringens is a gram-positive bacterium of the genus Clostridium.
C. perfringens is ubiquitous in nature and can be found as a normal component of decaying vegetation, marine sediment, the intestinal tract of humans and other vertebrates, insects, and soil.
C. perfringens is a human pathogen sometimes, and other times it can be ingested and not cause any harm.
The Test of English as a Foreign Language, or TOEFL, is a test which measures people’s English language skills to see if they are good enough to take a course at university or graduate school in English-speaking countries.
It is for people whose native language is not English but wish to study in an international University.
It measures how well a person uses listening, reading, speaking and writing skills to perform academic tasks.
This test is accepted by more than 10 000 colleges, universities, and agencies in more than 150 countries; which means it is the most widely recognized English test in the world.
The format of the TOEFL test has been changed three times.
The first was the PBT (paper-based TOEFL test).
It tests listening, reading and grammar skills with a perfect score being 677 (Paper Based).
Some centers where computers are not available still offer this format.
The second format is the CBT (computer-based TOEFL test).
People are each provided with a computer to take the test.
A writing section was added as well as the three sections.
The level of listening and grammar skills are automatically changed depending on a person’s English level.
The third change is the iBT (Internet-based test) that is being brought in around the world which measures listening, speaking, reading and writing.
There are three procedures that people are following to take the test.
First it is decided where and when you are going to
take the test because the format of the test could be either iBT or CBT depending on location.
People need to register 2–3 months in advance to get a place.
Second is registration in person, online, by phone, or through email.
Online registration is most common and payment will be required to complete the registration.
The cost changes depending on what kind of exam is taken.
As more universities and colleges want a TOEFL more people are wanting to do the test.
In Korea in 2010, nearly 115,000 people took the test to demonstrate their ability in English.
This was 20% of the total for people doing the test.
It is considered as one of the ways for middle or high school students to apply for the high ranked domestic universities.
By studying at such an advanced level, it could help to improve their English skills to get high scores in other English exams..

An entrepôt is a trading post where merchandise can be imported and exported without paying a tariff.
This is often at a profit.
Sometimes it is more convenient to sell to an entrepôt than to travel long distances along a trade route.
The entrepôt sells the goods at a higher price to others travelling the rest of the route.
In modern times customs areas have largely made such entrepôts obsolete.
This type of port should not be confused with the modern French use of the word entrepôt meaning warehouse.
Entrepôts date back to the middle ages.
The Vikings established trade routes with entrepôts at Dublin, Wexford and Waterford.
An example of a Colonial American entrepôt was in Rhode Island between 1690 and 1765.

It was formed into Malaysia in 1963.
The British started trade in this area around 1800.
It became more of a British colony by the later 1800s.
Malaya was an important source of rubber and other plant products.
The Empire of Japan invaded and conquered Malaya and Singapore in December 1941.
Malaya remained under Japanese control for the rest of World War II, with Singapore as the capital.

Arsène Lupin is a French fictional character who appears in a book series of crime fiction novels written by French writer Maurice Leblanc, as well as a number of sequels and movie, television, stage play and comic book adaptations.
He made his debut in July 1905 in his first series, L'Arrestation d'Arsène Lupin ().
The adventure of this bold thief earns a controversial reputation — the rage or fury of police officers who keep missing him on the scene of robbery, and even in the jail, and the admiration from citizens who love to check up on the newspapers to see if there's any article about his great robberies.
Lupin is portrayed as patriotic, romantic, audacious, self-respecting, and respectful to women.
Lupin was born in 1874.
His father was a gymnastics teacher and taught him boxing and fencing which later became Lupin's attacking specialties.
He was raised by a nanny Victoire, and their relationship lasted until the end of the series.
His parents got divorced, and his mother started working for a relative who is fairly arrogant.
In the house of the relative, Lupin robs a necklace as revenge.
Until eighteen, he had been learning law, medicine, acting, and martial arts.
His journey as a thief starts at age eighteen.
In addition to his real name, he likes using several fake names, such as Sernine and Perenna.
They have different jobs, which vary from famous traveller to retired general.
He sometimes disguises himself as a detective, and solves lots of mysterious incidents, and becomes famous.
He usually buys a kind of identification card from an unknown and recently dead man, and uses his name.
The ending of his life is not clear, because the author, Maurice Leblanc, was dead in 1941 before completing Le Dernier Amour d'Arsène Lupin (), the 21st volume of the series.
Leblanc was presented the French Legion of Honour award for inspiring the patriotism and pride of French people by his Lupin series.
He bought a house in Etretat and named it Le Clos Lupin (the vacation of lupin), which is still famous as a tourist attraction.

The K1A1 is a remodeled and upgraded version of K1, the main battle tank of the South Korean army.
It looks similar to the K1 tank.
The first test model, made by Hyundai, was shown to the public on April 3, 1996.
It went through performance tests for two years from 1999 to 2001.
Production began on October 13, 2001.
It is planned to produce 484 of them by 2010.
The K2 Black Panther is planned to replace it after that.
The reason for the upgrade was to increase the fire power of the K1.
The main 105mm gun was replaced with the M256 120mm gun.
The M256 122mm has 1.5 times the range and 1.7 times stronger fire power than the older gun.
It also changed its armor, called Korean Special Armor Plate (KSAP), which greatly improved its side shield.
The K1A1 weighs about 53.2 tons and can seat four people.
Besides the main gun, there are two kinds of machine guns, 12.7mm K6 and two 7.62mm M60s as secondary arms.
Guns and a turret are able to move independently of the main body.
This improves its accuracy rate.
The K1A1 is designed for Korea’s mountainous land.
It provides a smoother ride as well as higher speed driving on a sloping hill, compared to the K1.
The maximum speed is around 65km/h on the level ground, 40km/h on the mountains.
Its fire control system involves KCPS (Korea Commander’s Panoramic Sight), KGPS (Korean Gunners Primary Sight), digital ballistic calculator, and some minor factors.
The notable fact is that the development of this system was mostly done by Korean technology.

In St. Moritz he was a member of the British team that placed fifth in the ice hockey tournament.
He was born in East Ham, Greater London and was a member of the Harringay Greyhounds.
In 1946 he founded Dunkelman & Son Ltd, now known as Dasco Shoe Care, in Battersea to manufacture and sell ice hockey sticks, but moved into the shoe trade in 1950 and to a new location in Desborough in 1969.

Zhuyin Fuhao, often shortened as zhuyin and commonly called bopomofo, is a type of sound-based writing for the Chinese language.
In Chinese, "bo", "po", "mo" and "fo" are the first four of the conventional ordering of available syllables.
As a result, the four syllables together have been used to refer to many different phonetic systems.
For Chinese speakers who were first introduced to the Zhuyin system, "bopomofo" means zhuyin fuhao.
The zhuyin characters are represented in typographic fonts as if drawn with an ink brush (as in Regular Script).
They are encoded in Unicode in the bopomofo block, in the range U+3105 ... U+312D.
After the overthrow of China's last emperor during the Xinhai Revolution in 1911, the new government in China created Zhuyin to help the common people read more easily.
However, the Chinese Communist Party, including Mao Zedong himself, wanted to ban writing Chinese characters altogether and replace them with the Latin alphabet.
When the People's Liberation Army defeated the Kuomintang (the founding party of the Republic of China) in 1949 and sent them off to exile in Taiwan, the use of Zhuyin dropped in mainland China because the CPC was interested in using the Latin alphabet for writing Chinese phonetically.
However, Zhuyin is still widely used in Taiwan as it is used to type Chinese on computer and phone keyboards.
Zhuyin was made to closely represent the sounds of Mandarin Chinese.
Symbols are divided into two categories, the initials (the first sounds in a syllable) and the finals (the main vowel, the glide consonants ([y/i; IPA:/j/] and [w/u; IPA:/w/]) that come before the main vowel and all the sound that comes after it).
There are 4 tone marks to represent the 5 Mandarin tones.

In 1950 he was Social Affairs Minister, in 1951 Prime Minister (Acting) of South Korea, and in 1952 Government Services Minister.
In 1957 he was the eighth Mayor of Seoul City until 1959.
