After his return to Chernivtsi in 1921, Shlomo Wininger wrote about 13,000 biographies and published them in seven volumes between 1925 and 1936.
He survived the time of World War II in Chernivtsi and emigrated in 1951 to Israel.

Indo-Canadians are Canadians whose family can trace back to India.
The names "East Indian" and "South Asian" are used for people who originate from India, to tell them apart from the First Nations peoples of Canada who are often called Indian, and from the people of the Caribbean, who are sometimes called West Indian.
Most Indo-Canadians call themselves "Indian", instead of "East Indian".
This is because Christopher Columbus thought the Americas were India, and that Native Americans were Indian.
Most Indo-Canadians come from India, but some come from the Caribbean, South America, Africa, and the Middle East.
They usually live in cities like Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary, and Vancouver.
They are one of the fastest growing races in Canada, because of immigration.

At the center of Gestalt therapy is the idea of "awareness" (knowing).
The person being helped is encouraged to know his or her own feelings and behaviour, and the effect they have upon the world around them.
With Gestalt therapy, the patient is helped to see that they are trying to avoid feeling emotions from the present.

The sooty barbthroat (Threnetes niger) is a species of hummingbird.
It is found in French Guiana and far north-eastern Brazil.
Its habitat is humid tropical lowland forest.
Though normally restricted in range, it is common enough to be thought a Species of Least Concern by the IUCN.
The taxonomy and systematics of the Sooty Barbthroat complex has made much confusion.
Some authors thought the Sooty Barbthroat to be a "melanistic variant" of the pale-tailed barbthroat (T. leucurus).
Not only that, but some suggest that the bronze-tailed barbthroat (T. n. loehkeni) should also be thought a valid species and have the doubtful Christina's barbthroat (T. n. christinae) as a subspecies.
Freire's Sooty barbthroat (T. n. freirei) is average between the sooty and bronze-tailed barbthroats however, and thus its status needs to be more clear before the problem is fixed.

Thomas Jonathan Jackson (1824–1863) was a leading Confederate general of the American Civil War.
He earned the name "Stonewall" after the First Battle of Bull Run.
He was frequently called the most brilliant strategist in the Confederate Army.
Jackson was considered Robert E. Lee's "right hand".
Jackson was mortally wounded at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
On May 2, 1863, he was scouting ahead of his lines when one of his own men mistakenly shot him.
His left arm was badly wounded requiring the doctors to amputate it two inches below his shoulder.
He died on May 10, 1863.
He was 39 years old.
He likely died of a pulmonary embolism and not from pneumonia.

The Treaty of Paris was the treaty that formally ended the American Revolutionary War between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and the United States of America.
The treaty was signed in Paris on September 3, 1783.
The American Congress of the Confederation ratified the treaty on January 14, 1784.
The British King George III ratified the treaty on April 9, 1784.
Under the terms of the treaty, Britain recognized the new nation, agreed to remove all troops, and set new borders of the United States.
The United States agreed to allow British troops to leave and to encourage the states pay all debts owed to Britain.
It also agreed not to persecute the Tories (people loyal to the British king and so also known as loyalists) still in the United States and allow those who left America to return.
France and Spain, who were allies of the United States, also signed peace treaties with Britain.
France got Tobago and Senegal and some other places.
Spain wanted Gibraltar but instead got Menorca and Florida.
The Netherlands, which signed later, did not gain or lose land but were forced to allow British trade in the Dutch East Indies.
In India, the Kingdom of Mysore, which was supported by the French until the treaty was signed, continued fighting for another year but also neither gained nor lost any land.

Earmuffs are objects that are made to cover and protect a person's ears.
A plastic or metal band fits over the top of the head, and there are two pads at the ends that cover the ears warmly.
Chester Greenwood invented the earmuffs when he was 15.
His ears would turn into unusual colors like red, white, purple, or blue and begin to hurt when it was cold (he lived in Maine).<ref>Harris, Harry.
Good Old-Fashioned Yankee Ingenuity.
Chelsea, Mich.: Scarborough House, 1990</ref> Because of this, he could not try the new ice skates he got for his fifteenth birthday.
Chester had tried wrapping a scarf around his head, but it was too bulky.
So Chester twisted some wire so that it went across the top of his head, and made a loop on each end near his ears.
Then he asked his grandmother to sew some material on the end of each loop.
She put black velvet on the inside of the ears, and beaver fur on the outside of each loop, then sewed the wire across Chester's hat to make it stay.
Soon lots of people in his town wanted ear warmers like Chester's, and he opened a factory when he was 19 to make them.
Each year, his home town (Farmington) celebrates his invention with a parade on "Chester Greenwood Day."
Types of earmuffs
There are two kinds of earmuffs: thermal earmuffs, which keep a person's ears warm, and acoustic earmuffs, also called ear defenders'', which block out a lot of sound and noise and can be used in construction (building) sites, for example, when jackhammering.
Rigel is a hot supergiant star in the Milky Way Galaxy.
It is classified as a blue supergiant.
It is located in the constellation Orion.
Many scientists believe that Rigel is the youngest star in the constellation.
Rigel is much bigger than our star here in the solar system, the Sun at 78 times its radius and a diameter more than 100 million kilometers.
Rigel lies 778 light-years from Earth in Orion.
Because it is near the equator, Rigel is visible from Earth as a small, bluish circle on clear nights from both hemispheres.
The color of this star is bluish-white, hotter than a star with a yellow color, meaning it will use more energy quickly.
The Sun uses the same gases as Rigel; hydrogen and helium that makes it shine.
When Rigel loses its fuel inside the very hot core, it will blow up into the red supergiant stage of its life and explode in a supernova.
A black hole or a pulsar could be left.

A cathode ray is a stream of electrons that are seen in vacuum tubes.
It is called a "cathode ray" because the electrons are being emitted from the negative charged element in the vacuum tube called the cathode.
A cathode ray tube aims the ray at a point on its screen.
They were first observed in 1869 by German physicist Johann Hittorf, and were named in 1876 by Eugen Goldstein Kathodenstrahlen, or cathode rays.
Electrons were discovered as the constituents of cathode rays in 1897 by British physicist J. J. Thomson.
He showed the rays were composed of a previously unknown negatively charged particle, which was later called the electron.
Cathode ray tubes (CRTs) use a focused beam of electrons deflected by electric or magnetic fields to create the image in a classic television set.
They travel in a straight path.
They have a negative electric charge
They have particle property
Magnets can deflect them
Charge/mass ratio of the rays is constant
They travel from the cathode to the anode
Their properties are independent from the electrodes and gas present in the cathode ray tube.
Cathode rays can ionize gas
The travel more slowly than light
They can heat objects that they hit
They can penetrate through thin Aluminium plates
They can make phosphors glow
The Lewis structures, also called Lewis-dot diagrams or electron dot diagrams or Lewis dot structure  are pictures that show the bonding between a pair of electrons and the atoms of a molecule.
Each dot represents one electron.
Two dots side by side represent a lone pair of electrons.
To show a bond between atoms, a line representing a pair of shared electrons is placed between the two atoms.
This is showing water also known as H2O
Rule:-
First we have to select central atom.
Central atom is that which is  present in list in number.
central atom is that which has more number of valence electron.
hydrogen is never central atom.
then we arrange the rest of the atom and their electron as such they become stable.
Sentience is being capable of feeling, consciousness or having some form of mind.
Eighteenth-century philosophers used the concept to distinguish the ability to think (reason) from the ability to feel (sentience).
Intelligence and sentience
Perceive
possibly Will, though this goes beyond some definitions.
Philosophy and sentience
In the philosophy of consciousness, sentience can refer to the ability of any thing to have subjective perceptual experiences, or as some philosophers refer to them, "qualia".
Animal rights and sentience
Thinking about sentience is important when studying animal rights.
This is because feeling is needed in order to suffer.
The basis of animal rights is that some animals have emotions, can feel pain and also feel happy and well.
Mansfield is a small town at the base of the Victorian part of the Australian Alps.
It is about  north-east of Melbourne.
In 2006 there were 4052 people living in Mansfield.
Mansfield is the centre of a large shire; it was made to join with the nearby town of Benalla  away, to form Delatite Shire.
Many people did not like this change and Mansfield became the first de-amalgamation in Victoria.
Mansfield was once mainly a farming and logging town, but is now a tourist-centre.
It is the support town for the large Australia ski resort Mt Buller.
It is well known for the High Country tradition of alpine grazing, made famous in the movie The Man from Snowy River.
This was made around Mansfield, based on the poem by Banjo Paterson.
Mansfield, first known as Mount Battery, was at the boundary of a number of pastoral runs (very large farms).
A township was surveyed in 1851 and named after Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, England.
People came to live in the town after the discovery of gold nearby and the Post Office opened on January 1, 1858.
The Mansfield railway line,  reached the town from Tallarook in 1891, and was closed on November 18, 1978.
The last passenger train was on May 28, 1977.
The area round Mansfield named as Banbury was also the location of the novel The Far Country by Nevil Shute.
