While some music is arranged so that the pages end at places where the musician can spare one hand to turn them, this is not always possible.
A page-turner is often needed by musicians who are playing difficult pieces and prefer not to play from memory.
A page-turner needs to be able to understand the musician's signals and follow the music to know when to turn the page.
Page-turners are sometimes friends of the performer or members of the accompanying orchestra helping the musician.
Professional page-turners are usually freelance casual workers.
Mechanical page-turners are also available, sometimes controlled by the musician via a foot pedal.
Charles Halle is said to have invented the automatic page-turner.
James Francis Thorpe (May 28, 1888 – March 28, 1953) was an American athlete in track, football, and baseball.
Thorpe was part Native American and was from Oklahoma.
He played football, track, and six other sports at Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania.
While at Carlisle, Thorpe's team was one of the best in the country, and beat an Army team that had Dwight Eisenhower.
Thorpe won gold medals in the pentathlon (five track and field events in one day) and decathlon (ten events in two days) at the 1912 Summer Olympics.
After the decathlon, the King of Sweden called him the greatest athlete alive.
His medals were taken away because he had played professional baseball, but were returned in 1982, long after his death.
After the Olympics, Thorpe played professional baseball and football.
He played for football teams including the Canton Bulldogs, Rock Island Independents, Chicago Cardinals and New York Giants.
He was commissioner of the NFL for one year.
Thorpe is in the NFL Hall of Fame.
He also played for baseball teams including the New York Giants, Cincinnati Reds, and Boston Braves   For several years, Thorpe toured with football, baseball and basketball teams that only had Native American players.
Late in life, Thorpe had problems with alcoholism.
Thorpe died in 1953.
He was buried in Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania, which changed its name to Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania.
The Crocodylomorphs are an important group of archosaurs.
It includes the crocodilians and their extinct relatives.
During Mesozoic and early Tertiary times the Crocodylomorpha were much more diverse than they are now.
They were originally small, lightly built, active land animals.
These were supplanted during the early Jurassic by various aquatic and marine forms.
The later Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Tertiary saw a wide diversity of terrestrial and semi-aquatic lineages.
Modern crocodilians do not appear until the Upper Cretaceous.
The crocodylian lineage (clade Crurotarsi) were a very diverse group of reptiles.
Not only are they an ancient group of animals, at least as old as the dinosaurs, they also evolved into a great variety of forms.
The earliest forms, the sphenosuchians, evolved during the Upper Triassic.
They were slim land animals built like greyhounds.
During the Jurassic and the Cretaceous, marine forms evolved forelimbs that were paddle-like and had a tail similar to modern fish.
The group had a wider range of habitats and behaviours than it does at presenr.
Dakosaurus andiniensis, a species closely related to Metriorhynchus, had a skull adapted for eating large marine reptiles.
Several terrestrial species during the Cretaceous evolved herbivory.
A number of lines during the Tertiary and Pleistocene became wholly terrestrial predators.

Casineria was a tetrapod which lived 340 million years ago (mya) in the Mississippian.
It was a small animal, length about 15 centimeters.
It lived in what was then a fairly dry environment in what is now Scotland.
It had a mosaic of 'basal' (= primitive) amphibian and 'derived' (= advanced) amniote characters.
Casineria was at or very near the origin of the amniotes.
It may have been one of the very first true amniotes.
The only fossil lacks key elements: most of the skull and the whole lower body is missing.
This makes exact analysis difficult.
Casineria was an insectivore.
This earliest amniote had five fingers with claws on each hand, and marks the earliest known clawed foot.
Its name, Casineria, is a latin version of Cheese Bay, the site near Edinburgh, where it was found.
In 1992, an amateur fossil collector spotted the remains of this four-legged creature on the shore of Cheese Bay, Scotland.
For the next five years, the fossil waited at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh while researchers focused on other projects.
In 1997, work began to expose the remainder of the fossil from the surrounding matrix of stone.
The work revealed that the animal probably lived in an environment much drier than previously understood.
The findings were first reported in 1999.
Phylogenetic relationship
Casineria shows features that ties it in with early tetrapods, notably a generally gracile (slim) build with light leg-bones, unfused ankles and toes ending in claws.
This would enable the animal to use their feet actively in traction, rather than as holdfasts.
This indicates a mainly terrestrial lifestyle.
These traits shows it was closely related to amniotes.
With its advanced features, Casineria may have been one of the very first true amniotes, that is, egg-layers before the split between Synapsids and Sauropsids.
Casineria pushes back the origin of amniote lineages much further than was previously realized.
Casineria and its relatives were perhaps the first vertebrates to live and reproduce on land.
Protoclepsydrops was an early amniote from about 314 million years ago.
Its remains were found at the Joggins Fossil Cliffs World Heritage Site.
The dating of this site has been debated, with dates from 320 million years ago (mya)  to 305 mya being suggested.p39 It is now settled as 314.5–313.4 mya +/- 1.1 million years.p40
The skeletal remains of Protoclepsydrops suggest it may have been a synapsid.
If so, it is the oldest synapsid known, though its status is unconfirmed because its remains were fragmentary.
Protoclepsydrops lived slightly earlier than Archaeothyris, which was definitely a synapsid.
Like Archaeothyris, Protoclepsydrops had a body shape which resembled modern lizards.
Paleothyris had sharp teeth and large eyes: it was a nocturnal hunter.
It was about a foot long.
It probably fed on insects and other smaller animals found on the floor of its forest home.
Paleothyris was an early sauropsid, yet it still had some features that were more labyrinthodont-like than reptile-like.
Its skull lacked fenestrae, holes found in the skulls of most reptiles and mammals.

Amy Frederica Brenneman (born June 22, 1964) is an American producer and actor.
She is best known for starring in NYPD Blue and Judging Amy.
She has also starred in many movies.
Westlothiana lizziae is an early tetrapod.
It is a transitional fossil, with a mixture of amphibian and early amniote characters.282 Its body shape had a superficial resemblance to modern-day lizards.
It lived during the Carboniferous period, about 350 million years ago.
The type specimen was discovered in East Kirkton Quarry, Bathgate, Scotland, in 1984.
It was named after the County of West Lothian where it was found.
Westlothiania in life
This species probably lived near a freshwater lake, probably hunting for other small creatures that lived in the same habitat.
It was a slender animal, with rather small legs and a long tail.
Together with Casineria, another transitional fossil found in Scotland, it is one of the smallest terapods known, being a mere 20 cm in adult length.
The small size has made it a key fossil in the search for the earliest amniote, as amniote eggs are thought to have evolved in very small animals.
There are derived (advanced) features which tie it in with the amniotes rather than amphibians.
These are: unfused ankle bones, lack of labyrinthodont infolding of the dentine in teeth, a lack of an otic notch and a generally small skull.
Ideas of how Westlothiana should be classified has varied from basal amniote to an amphibian Lepospondyl.
The actual phylogenetic position of Westlothiania is uncertain.

Magic Kingdom is one of four theme parks at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Florida.
Magic Kingdom was the first park built at the resort.
It opened on October 1, 1971.
It was designed and built by WED Enterprises.
The park's layout and attractions are similar to Disneyland in Anaheim, California.
In 2009, the park had around 17.2 million visitors, making it the most visited theme park in the world.
The symbol of Magic Kingdom is Cinderella Castle.
That castle is based on the castle in the movie Cinderella.
Transportation and Ticket Center
The Transportation and Ticket Center, also called the TTC, is the first place park guests enter after the parking lot.
At the TTC, guests can buy tickets to enter the park.
After that, they can board either a boat or the Monorail, which will take them to the park.
Walt Disney built the resort to have a big lake between the parking lot and the park so guests would have a magical experience watching the park come slowly into view.
Magic Kingdom is divided into six areas.
Most of them are called "lands".
The lands are Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland.
The other areas are Main Street, U.S.A. and Liberty Square.
Main Sreet, U.S.A. is the first area guests enter after going through the gates.
It was built to look like a typical street in the United States.
The buildings use forced perspective to make the street look longer than it really is and Cinderella Castle look taller.
That means the buildings closer to the viewer are taller than the buildings farther away.
The street is lined with shops and restaurants.
The windows of the buildings have the names of people who worked for the Walt Disney Company on them.
Adventureland is themed around exploring unknown lands, like jungles and islands.
Rides and shows in this area are the Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management), the Jungle Cruise, and Pirates of the Caribbean, among others.
Frontierland is based on the American West in the 1800s, also called the Wild West.
Rides and shows in this area include Big Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, and the Country Bear Jamboree.
Liberty Square is based on colonial America around the time of the American Revolution.
Rides and shows in this area include the Hall of the Presidents and the Haunted Mansion.
Fantasyland is based on the magic of fairytales and has rides based on many of Disney's animated films.
Rides in this area include It's a Small World, Peter Pan's Flight, and Dumbo.
Tomorrowland is based on visions of the future.
Rides and shows in this area include Space Mountain, Stitch's Great Escape!,
and Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress.
Archaeothyris was the earliest definite synapsid.
It lived in the late Carboniferous period, 306 million years ago.
It was found in Nova Scotia, at the same locality as Hylonomus, and Petrolacosaurus, which are similar to Archaeothyris, but probably sauropsids.
Protoclepsydrops is slightly older, but its status as a synapsid is unclear as the remains are more fragmentary.
Archaeothyris belonged to a group of early pelycosaurs that evolved early in the Pennsylvanian.
It is thus seen as the precursor of all synapsids (which include mammals).
Appearance and lifestyle
Unlike the early sauropsids, Hylonomus and its kin, Archaeothyris was relatively large, measuring  head to tail.
It was also more advanced than the early sauropsids (~reptiles), with strong jaws that could open wider than those of the sauropsids.
Its sharp teeth were all of the same shape, and it had a pair of enlarged canines, suggesting that it was a carnivore.
Archaeothyris lived in what is now Nova Scotia, about 306 million years ago in the Carboniferous Period (Pennsylvanian).
Nova Scotia at this time was a swamp, similar to today's Everglades in Florida.
The 'trees' (actually giant clubmosses) were very tall.
Some, such as Lepidodendron, were up to  tall.
Archaeothyris and the other early amniotes lived on the forest floor.
In the early years he achieved success in films such as Bulldog Drummond Escapes (1937), Hotel Imperial (1939), Beau Geste (1939), and The Major and the Minor (1942) with Ginger Rogers.
He was also in Ministry of Fear (1944), by Fritz Lang.
In the Billy Wilder film The Lost Weekend (1945), he played the role of Don Birnam, an alcoholic writer.
That role earned him an Academy Award as best actor.
In the 1950s he starred in the Alfred Hitchcock film Dial M for Murder (1954).
Another performance was as Oliver Barrett III (1970), in the Arthur Hiller film Love Story (1970), with Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal.
Sci-fi movies
In early 1960, Ray Milland started much to play evil characters, in horror and sci-fi movies such as Panic in Year Zero! (
1962), he also directed.
Premature Burial (1962) and X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (1963), by Roger Corman, in Frogs (1972), he played a man who is attacked by a plague of mutant frogs, The Thing with Two Heads (1972), he played a doctor who had a head transplant, Terror in the Wax Museum (1973).
He had a long career in television, including his TV series Meet Mr. McNutley (1953–54), as Ray McNulty, and the Crime TV series Markham (1959–60), as Roy Markham a former lawyer, who works as a detective.
He was a special guest star in General Electric Theater, Night Gallery, Columbo, Battlestar Galactica, Fantasy Island, The Love Boat, Hart to Hart, and many more.
Canine teeth are found in mammals.
They are the eye teeth, fangs or dogteeth.
They are on either side of the incisors.
Their main function is to hold food firmly in order to tear it apart, and also attack and defence.
In some mammals they are weapons of attack and defence.
Examples are: wolves and dogs; the cat family; walrus.
Baboons and the great apes have large canines, especially the adult males.
In humans they are much reduced, and sit in line with the other teeth.
The premolar teeth of mammals are the teeth between the canines and the molars.
There are at most a total of eight of them.
The number is reduced in the dental formula of many species.
As the name suggests, they are like smaller molars, and their function is to crush  and grind food.
A water park (occasionally written as waterpark) is an theme park that features water play areas, such as water slides, splash pads, spraygrounds (water playgrounds), lazy rivers, or other recreational bathing, swimming, and barefooting environments.
Water parks in more current states of development may also have some type of artificial surfing or bodyboarding environment such as a wave pool or FlowRider.
Evolution of water parks
Water parks have grown in popularity since their introduction in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
The United States has the largest and most concentrated water park market, with over a thousand water parks and dozens of new parks opening each year.
Major organizations are IAAPA (International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions) and WWA (World Waterpark Association).
Water parks emerging from spas continue to more closely resemble mountain resorts as they become four-season destinations-for example, Splash Universe Water Park Resort, a member of the World Water Park Association, is themed to match the community in which it is located.
The theme is intended to enhance the communities' destination appeal.
Therefore, the amusement and leisure time industry is becoming more concentrated as winter sports are becoming commonplace themes in summertime water rides.
A process of concentration can be observed in the hybrid segments of theme-, amusement-, and water parks.
Some water parks are more spa-oriented; e.g. Schwaben Quellen, a member of European Waterparks Association (EWA) has no water slides, but instead has many saunas, steam rooms, "adventure showers", and relaxation-oriented water play areas.
From 2000's, popular water parks were disclosed by long wait line problems of attractions.
To solve this problem, some water parks adapt conveyor belt to lift passengers or use water jets.
A unique feature at a water park is ice skating.
Deep River Waterpark in northwestern Indiana features ice skating thanks to cooling pipes that were added under their massive plaza during a recent expansion.
Indoor water parks
The first ever indoor water park was built in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in 1985 at the West Edmonton Mall as part of the $1.2 billion dollar Phase III expansion.
Called World Waterpark, it is over  in size.
It also includes one of the world's largest indoor wave pool, waterslides of varying degrees, tube rides, bungee jumping, and hot tubs.
With 5 indoor water parks, Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, is recognized as the "Water Park Capital of the World."
It showcases several of America's largest indoor and outdoor water parks (see Noah's Ark Water Park).
Indoor water parks in Wisconsin Dells debuted in 1994 after the Polynesian Resort Hotel built the first one in the U.S. The success in extending the tourist season and turning water park resorts into vacation destinations has resulted in tremendous industry growth.
Usually resort hotels featuring massive indoor water parks that are often reserved exclusively for overnight guests, companies like Great Wolf Resorts/Great Wolf Lodge and Kalahari Resorts have branched out from their origin in the Dells to open new locations around the country.
Mt. Olympus Theme and Water Park (formerly Family Land) is another huge water park in the Dells.
There are many water parks in Southern Europe where the climate suits a long season.
For example in Portugal on the Algarve there are three main parks - Aqualand, Aquashow and Slide and Splash.
Water play areas
Water play areas are similar to water parks and include urban beaches, splash pads, and smaller collections of waterslides in many hotels and public pools.
For example, the Delta Chelsea hotel in Toronto features a four story waterslide called the "corkscrew".
Another unique waterpark feature is ice skating.
Deep River Waterpark in Indiana has ice skating thanks to cooling pipes that were added under their plaza.

Lumbricus terrestris, also known as the common worm, lob worm, or dew worm, is a large reddish worm native to Europe, but now also widely distributed elsewhere around the world (along with several other lumbricids), due to human introductions.
In some areas where it has been introduced, some people consider it to be a serious pest species, since it is out-competing locally native worms.
Through much of Europe it is the largest naturally occurring species of earthworm, typically reaching 20 – 25 cm in length when extended (though in parts of southern Europe there are native species which are much larger).
It has an unusual habit of copulating on the surface at night, which makes it more visible than most other earthworms.

Morganucodon is an early mammaliaform genus.p79 It lived during the latest Upper Triassic or earliest Jurassic.p299
Unlike many other early mammals, Morganucodon is known from abundant and well preserved material.
Most of this comes from Glamorgan in Wales (Morganucodon watsoni).
According to Kemp, it is impossible to say whether the rock fissures (cracks), where the remains were found, are latest Triassic or earliest Jurassic.p142
Morganucodon first appeared about 205 million years ago.
"It was a small animal with a skull 2-3 cm in length and a body length of about 10 cm [4 inches].
In general appearance it would have looked like a shrew or mouse".p143
Fossils have also been found in the Yunnan Province in China (Morganucodon oehleri), in various parts of Europe and North America and some at least closely related animals (Megazostrodon) are known from exquisite fossils from South Africa.p21/33, 174
From their size and teeth, they may have been insectivores.p300
The small size suggests some kind of temperature regulation, which in turn suggests insulation in the form of fur.
Nocturnal activity in an animal of this size virtually requires an increased internal production of heat.p124
Brain size is another factor.
It is certain that early mammals did have enlarged brains relative to their size.
Reconstructions of the brain size has shown this.
Apparently, brain size in Mesozoic mammals lay within the lower range of brain size for living mammals.
This is an overall increase of four or more times the volume of basal amniote brains.
Very likely this involved the development of the neocortex, "one of the most striking of all mammalian characteristics".p120
Is it a mammal?
There has been a long controversy about whether or not to classify it as a mammal.
Some prefer to include it in a broader clade called Mammaliaformes.
Morganucodon is regarded as very basal (= primitive).
Its lower jaw has some of the bones found in its synapsid ancestors in a very reduced form.
Mammals have a jawbone composed solely of the dentary.
The primitive jaw joint between the articular and quadrate bones is still  found in Morganucodon.p107/112 In modern mammals these bones moved into the middle ear and become part of the ear ossicles as malleus and incus, Morganucodon is unusual because, apart from still having the primitive hinge, it has also evolved the derived mammalian one and so has a double jaw joint.
Its tooth replacement and determinate growth, are mammalian features.p324/346 Earlier synapsids replace their teeth throughout life, as sauropsids also do.
This is known as "polyphyodonty", while mammals grow only two sets of teeth, in "diphyodonty".
Castle Vale is a housing estate near Erdington,  northeast of Birmingham city centre, in England.
The area has about 10,000 people.
It has modern homes because a lot of new houses were built after World War II.
It is known as a postwar overspill estate.
The area was originally known as Berwood, from the Saxon 'Bearu' meaning 'the woods'.
Historically the area was a boggy and wooded area, and development only started when Edward Darcy began cutting down the trees in the 17th century and the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal was built in the 18th century.
In the 20th century, the land became the site for the first aeroplane take-off in Birmingham which led to a long aviation history being associated with the area.
Castle Bromwich Aerodrome was established on the site and operated from 1914 to 1960, being a major airfield in both World Wars and also having industrial importance as the testing facility for locally manufactured airplanes and the location for the British Industries Fair.
Castle Vale became infamous from the 1970s onwards as a large scale example of a failed postwar overspill estate, which suffered from poor construction and maintenance, social deprivation and high levels of crime.
The area became the focus of a targeted regeneration initiative, led by the Castle Vale Housing Action Trust (CVHAT) from 1993 to 2005, where the estate witnessed the demolition of many of its houses and facilities, the repair of remaining properties, and the construction of new housing and facilities along with the remodelling of the estate, funded both privately and publicly.
It is now hailed as an example of a successful community-led regeneration scheme.
