D. B. Cooper (also known as Dan Cooper) is an alias (false name) for a man who hijacked an airplane in November 24, 1971.
At that time, airline passengers were not searched before boarding their planes.
He carried a bomb onto a flight between Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington.
He received the ransom payment of $200,000.
He jumped from the airplane, which was a Boeing 727.
When he jumped, the airplane was in the Pacific Northwest, perhaps over Woodland, Washington.
Hundreds of suspects have been named through the years, but no conclusive evidence has surfaced regarding who Cooper was, or where he lived.
The FBI believes he did not survive the jump.
Several people have tried to explain what happened after the jump.
Some of these explanations contradict each other.
Because no one expected he would jump and because little is known of what happened afterwards, people are still interested in the case.
The Cooper case (code-named "Norjak" by the FBI) remains an unsolved mystery.
The case is famous for its lack of evidence.
A few important clues have arisen, nevertheless.
In late 1978, a placard, which had instructions on how to lower the rear stairs of a 727 was found just a few flying minutes north of Cooper's projected drop zone.
It is believed that this is from the rear stairway of the plane from which Cooper jumped.
In February 1980, eight-year-old Brian Ingram found $5,880 in decaying $20 bills on the banks of the Columbia River.
In October 2007, the FBI announced it was able to get a partial DNA profile of Cooper from the tie he left on the hijacked plane.
The FBI warehouse had lost other material with his DNA.
On December 31, 2007, the FBI revived the unclosed case: They published never before seen composite sketches and fact sheets online.
They did this because some people might remember them, and help identify Cooper.
In a press release, the FBI said that it still does not believe Cooper survived the jump, but wanted to know who Cooper was.
In March 2008, the FBI announced that another possible clue was being investigated after a torn, tangled parachute was found within the bounds of Cooper's probable jump site near the town of Amboy, Washington.
However, the FBI announced on April 1, 2008 that the parachute in question was not D. B. Cooper's.
The man responsible for packing the four parachutes said that the recently discovered parachute was not Cooper's, as his was nylon, and the newly discovered parachute was silk, dating from the 1940s.
Normally, the criminal laws cannot work against people years after their crimes (statute of limitations).
In 1976, to prevent D. B. Cooper from escaping punishment, a Portland grand jury charged D. B. Cooper with crimes.
He is said to be a disabled veteran.

He is the Member of Parliament for Edinburgh South West.
Alistair Darling was born in London.
He was first elected to the House of Commons at the 1987 General Election.
His government posts under Tony Blair include: Chief Secretary to the Treasury (1997-1998), Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (1998-2002), Transport Secretary (2002-2006), Scottish Secretary (2003-2006) and Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (2006-2007).
The moa were large flightless birds.
They lived only in New Zealand, and are now all extinct.
There were nine species (in six genera) of Moa.
The largest and best known were the genus Dinornis, which grew up to 3.6 meters (12 feet) tall, and weighed as much as 230 kilograms (510 pounds).
The group of birds to which the moa belong had been in existence since the Cretaceous period.
The Māori people arrived in New Zealand from Oceania about a thousand years ago.
Then, moas lived in large numbers, especially on South Island.
The moas became extinct about five hundred years ago.
The moas had survived being hunted by Haast's eagle.
However, they could not survive being hunted for food by the Maoris.

Malacology is the study of molluscs.
These animals include snails, slugs, octopus, squid, and bivalves generally, such as clams and mussels.
Most of them have shells.
The shells are often collected for their beauty and interest.
Many people eat molluscs, especially those people who live near the ocean.
Those scientists who study molluscs are called malacologists.
They identify and classify them, and find out everything they can about their lives.
Types of gastropods
The gastropods are the most common type of mollusc.
They have about 70,000 described species.
marine gastropod
sea snail
sea slug
non-marine gastropod
freshwater gastropod: with very few exceptions, the only freshwater molluscs are freshwater snails
freshwater snail
terrestrial gastropod: gastropods are the only group of molluscs which have some species living on land

land slug
semi-slug
Types of bivalves
With 20,000 described species, bivalves are the second commonest class of molluscs.
There are several classifications of bivalves in use.
This is a rough guide:

Typha is a genus of plants.
They are found in wetland habitats.
They are commonly found in the Northern Hemisphere, but may be found in wetlands elsewhere.
These plants are known in British English as bulrush, bullrush or reedmace, and in American English as cattail or punks.
Typha angustifolia - Lesser Bulrush or Narrow Leaf Cattail
Typha angustifolia x T. latifolia - Hybrid or White Cattail
Typha domingensis - Southern Cattail
Typha latifolia - Common Cattail
Typha laxmannii - Laxman's Bulrush
Typha minima - Dwarf Bulrush
Typha orientalis and Typha muelleri - Raupo
Typha shuttleworthii - Shuttleworth's Bulrush
Uses by humans
Cattails were once used to make paper.
Cattail paper is very heavy and coarse, and is rarely used today.
Cattail has also been used as a water filter to remove the poisonous chemical arsenic from drinking water.
Sickle cell anaemia is a genetic disease.
It affects red blood cells.
It changes the cells from flexible disks into rigid crescents.
When many red cells take this shape veins get blocked.
This can cause damage to many organs.
The organ damage increases with time and leads to an early death.
This is a lifelong disease which starts in childhood.
The red blood cells take up an abnormal, rigid, sickle shape.
The cells also become sticky.
This causes difficult blood flow when cells flow through long narrow capillaries.
Low oxygen increases the problem.
As they pass through low oxygen areas most cells take up this shape.
The cells then stick to the inner wall of blood vessels, especially the branching point of veins.
This leads to a blockade of blood flow in many organs.
Severe complications may result.
The classic example of a sickle cell crisis is "acute chest syndrome"(ACS).
This is unique to sicklers, and can cause death in a day or two unless treated.
Historically, acute chest syndrome was considered different from infection (pneumonia).
But in treatment there is not much point making that distinction.
ACS is a clinical diagnosis helped by at least one chest X-ray.
In all other organs low oxygen causes widening of blood vessels.
But the lung is a unique organ where blood vessels become narrower when oxygen is low.
This unique problem makes the lung a major target of the disease.
Fever is the most common symptom of ACS in children because infection is more common.
In the adults circulating clots and broken pieces of bone marrow can also add to the blockage of vessels in the lung and lead to ACS.
ACS can be partially treated by blood transfusion to dilute the sickled cells with some normal red blood cells.
An even better treatment is a procedure called red blood cell exchange.
Automated apheresis machines can do RBC exchange.
A milder and more frequent problem is 'painful crisis'.
Painful crisis involves flank, back and thigh pains that can be relieved by treatment.
A painful crisis may evolve into worse problems such as acute chest and other organ failures e.g. strokes, heart attacks.
Both strokes and heart attacks are general problems which may happen in older people.
But in sickle patients these can happen even in the young.
The spleen is involved differently in different ethnic groups with this disease.
Spleen is the organ which filters old RBCs and destroys them.
Old RBCs are stiff and cannot pass through some very narrow slits in the spleen.
But in sickle patients all cells very quickly become stiff and thus keep clogging up the spleen.
Starting from a very young age segments of the spleen die because of this problem.
In the pure form of this disease the whole spleen is dead and shrunken before the patient become adult.
Normal spleen keeps a large store of B cells which make antibodies and protect us from bacteria.
Loss of a working spleen leads to loss of protection from such bacteria.
In many Asian populations beta thalassaemia occurs together with sickle cell disease.
Thalassemia itself is another form of anaemia.
But the nature of the two disease are opposite.
Thalassemia increases red cell flexibility.
However, thalassemia itself can be a serious disease.
The sickling occurs because of a single point mutation in the gene for the beta chain of haemoglobin.
Sickle-cell disease occurs more commonly in people (or their descendants) from parts of tropical and sub-tropical regions where malaria is or was common.
One quarter of all people of Sub-Saharan African origin carry the gene.
We all inherit two copies (alleles) of the hemoglobin beta gene.
One comes each parent.
Some people are heterozygous: they have the sickle mutation in one copy and the other copy is normal.
Such people are called sickle trait or a carrier.
People with sickle trait are more resistant to malaria than normal people.
When both alleles of a gene are similar (homozygous) a person has copies mutated or both normal.
If both alleles have the mutation, it causes the full disease.
In malaria prone areas, normal people die frequently of malaria often before they had children.
Those with both copies with sickle mutation die of sickle disease before they can reproduce.
But the heterozygotes have a better survival (and have more children) than both homozygous groups.
Thus, the inheritance of the disease is an example of 'heterozygous advantage'.
In the full (homozygous) disease life expectancy is shortened, in fact it is near-fatal in pre-modern societies.
Sir Cyril Clarke said (referring to East Africa in the 1960s) "Almost all the children (with sickle-cell disease) will die in infancy".p25.
Studies in the modern U.S.A. report an average life expectancy of 42 years for males and 48 years for females.

Limnology is the study of waters that are not part of the oceans or seas.
This includes rivers, lakes, swamps, streams, wetlands, water under the ground, and even bodies of water made by people.
Scientists who study this are called limnologists.
Their work includes biology, chemistry, physics, geology, and hydrology.
The International Society of Limnology  promotes limnology to  scientists throughout the world.
There are many centres for such research throughout the world.
Limnology helps to explain why some lakes have lots of plants and animals and some have very few.
The Freshwater Biological Association which is based next to Windermere in England did a lot of the early work.
Limnologists there worked out why deep lakes have cold water at the bottom in summer-time but not in Winter.
The reason was that winds in Autumn mix the waters up.

A sacred site is a place that is thought of as sacred (or holy) to a particular religion.
Every one of the world's major religions has sacred sites.
Some religions, such as Islam, think of the sacred sites as being very important to their faith.
In other religions such as Protestant Christianity, sacred sites are not so important.
The idea that a place is sacred often comes from something that has happened at the place, or a religious story about that place.
Mount Sinai is a sacred site for Jews and Christians because it was on Mount Sinai that Moses received the Ten Commandments of God.
The sacred site might be a natural site, or it might be a building of some sort.
One of the most famous natural sites that is also a sacred site is Uluru (also called Ayre's Rock) in Central Australia.
It is believed to have been sacred to the aboriginal people for about 40,000 years.
Other famous natural sites are the sacred trees of India, Japan and South East Asia.
Very often, buildings have been made on natural sites that were already thought of as sacred.
For example, a spring of water coming from the ground might be said to have healing powers.
A special well-house might be built around the spring to protect it, and as a place where people might leave offerings (gifts to a god).
Other sites are thought of as sacred because a holy person or saint lived there, or died there, or their body is kept there.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem is one of the most sacred sites to Christianity because it is believed that Jesus' body was placed in a tomb there.
The city of Mecca is sacred to all Muslim people as the birthplace of the prophet Muhammad.
Many people make a special visit to a sacred site.
This is called a pilgrimage.
A person who travels on pilgrimage is called a "pilgrim".
Pilgrimage is very important in Islam, because every Muslim person is expected to make a pilgrimage to the city of Mecca once in their lifetime, if they can possibly do so.
Many Christians also make pilgrimages to sacred sites.
Pilgrimage became very important in the Middle Ages when thousands of people travelled to many sacred sites, particularly to Jerusalem, to the famous Christian basilicas of Rome, to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain and Canterbury Cathedral in England.
In modern times, sacred sites of Christian pilgrimage include Assisi in Italy, Lourdes in France, Fatima in Portugal and the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City.
In Buddhism, the sacred sites are four places in India where Buddha lived and preached.
These are Kapilavastu, Bodh Gaya, Benares and Kusinagara.
Basil II (958 – December 15, 1025), was a Byzantine emperor from the Macedonian dynasty from January 10, 976 to December 15, 1025.
Under his reign, the Byzantine Empire reached its greatest height since Justinian the Great.
Under his reign, the First Bulgarian Empire was completely taken by him, a land that would be part of his empire for 150 years.
Because of this, the northern part of the Roman Empire touched the Danube river for the first time in several hundred years.
He also took land towards the east.

The Battle of Manzikert, or Malazgirt (Turkish: Malazgirt Sav) was fought between the Byzantine Empire and then Seljuq Empire.
The Seljuq forces attacked on August 26, 1071 near Manzikert, (modern Malazgirt, Turkey).
Its result was one of the most decisive defeats of the Byzantine Empire and the capture of the Byzantine Emperor Romanos IV Diogenes.
The Battle of Manzikert played an important role in breaking the Byzantine resistance and preparing the way for the Turkish settlement in Anatolia.

Red Square (, ) is the most famous city square in Moscow, Russia.
The square separates the Kremlin, the former royal citadel and currently the official residence of the President of Russia, from a historic merchant quarter known as Kitay-gorod (China-Town).
As major streets of Moscow radiate from here in all directions, being promoted to major highways outside the city, the Red Square is often considered the central square of Moscow and of all Russia.
Joseph Stalin's body was preserved near Red Square, in Lenin's mausoleum.
It was later moved and reburied deep behind the Kremlin Wall without any ceremony.

George was born in Osnabrück, Germany, on 28 May 1660.
He lived most of his life in the Electorate of Hanover, one of the many German countries that was part of the Holy Roman Empire.
This area is today part of Germany.
He married his cousin Sophia Dorothea (the daughter of his father's brother George William) in 1682.
On 10 November 1683, their first child and only son, George Augustus, was born.
When George Louis was King of Great Britain, George Augustus was the Prince of Wales.
When the father died, the son became king, as George II.
On 16 March 1687, their second child and only daughter was born.
She was called Sophia Dorothea, after her mother.
She later married and became the Queen in Prussia.
Because she was married, she did not live in Britain with her father, but in Prussia with her husband.
George and his wife drifted apart, because he preferred his mistress Melusine, with whom he had three daughters, Anna, Melusine and Margaret.
Meanwhile, his wife was having an affair with Count Philip Christopher of Königsmarck, who was found dead in a river, rumoured to have been murdered on George's orders.
The marriage was ended in 1694, on the grounds that Sophia Dorothea had effectively abandoned George.
Sophia Dorothea's father, George William, and George Louis, had Sophia Dorothea imprisoned in Ahlden Castle in Celle, where she was unable to see her father, former husband, or children.
King of Great Britain
When Queen Anne of Great Britain died in 1714, an act of parliament said the next ruler must be a Protestant.
George was not the closest relative, but was the closest Protestant one.
All the closer relatives were Roman Catholic, so George became King of Great Britain and Ireland on 1 August 1714.
He was the first ruler of Great Britain from his family, the House of Hanover.
Many of the British people did not like the new king.
It is often said that he could not actually speak English.
This may have been true at first, but he sometimes wrote in English later in his reign.
George spent less time running the country than previous monarchs and allowed Parliament to have a bigger role.
Later on, he left Robert Walpole in charge of running the country.
Walpole became the first British prime minister, although the word "prime minister" was not used at the time.

Kaliningrad Oblast (, Kaliningradskaya oblast) is an exclave of Russia bordered by Poland, Lithuania and Baltic Sea.
The capital of Kaliningrad Oblast is Kaliningrad, formerly Königsberg.
It is quite unusual, first because it is not attached to Russia.
It is an exclave on the Baltic coast, with no land connection to the rest of Russia.
It has a population of 941,873 (2010 Census).
It has a continental climate (Dfb in the Koeppen climate classification).
Its territory was part of historical East Prussia (German: Nord-Ostpreussen), which was an exclave of Germany from 1919 until 1945.
That year, it was occupied by the Soviet Union as a result of the World War II.
The region was later annexed to the Soviet Union under border changes of the Potsdam Agreement, when it was attached to the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR).
Most of its German population were fled west to West Germany during the last months of the war.
The rest were expelled between 1944 and 1950.
Russian settlers were moved in and the population is now mainly Russian.
As of the 2010 census, only a small number of ethnic Germans remain; most of the several thousand who live in the oblast are recent immigrants from other parts of the former Soviet Union.

Anguis is a member of legless lizards also known as slowworms or blindworms.
belonging to the genus Anguidae.
Even though they are lizards, slow worms have lost their legs and are usually mistaken for snakes.
Anguis cephalonnicus - Peloponnese Slow Worm
Anguis fragilis (the slow-worm, or blindworm) is a lizard which is limbless (meaning it has no legs or arms).
It has a wide distribution in Europe and Asia, and is one of the few reptiles native to Britain.
When a slow-worm is in danger it can shed (break off) its tail and escape.
It can then grow back a new, shorter tail, which it cannot shed.
Instead of laying eggs, the females give birth to live young (viviparous birth).
In the days leading up to birth the female can often be seen basking in the sun on a warm road.
Slow-worms are often called snakes, but they are not.
Slow-worms can blink, but snakes cannot.
They shed their skin in patches like other lizards, rather than the whole skin as most snakes do.
Adult slow-worms grow to be about 50 centimetres long.
They are known for their very long life.
One was said to have been fifty four years old.
There are not as many slow-worms as there used to be.
Many places where they used to live have been built on.
In gardens they can be killed by cats.
