A levee, or levée, is a raised bank of a river.
A levee (European name: dike) offers protection against floods.
There are two types of levee: Riverdikes and seadikes.
The seadike was invented in Holland in 1277.
The first dikes were built in ancient Mesopotamia.
The levees they used were earth walls and gave protection against the meltwater.
3000 years ago levees were used in ancient Egypt for irrigation systems.
'Levée' comes from the French verb lever, "to raise".
Other names are 'floodbank' or 'stopbank'.
It is a natural or artificial wall, usually earthen, and often parallels the course of a river.
The term "levee" came into English use in New Orleans circa 1672.
The word dike comes from the Dutch verb dijk.

A river delta is a landform where the mouth of a river flows into an ocean, sea, desert, estuary, lake or another river.
It is formed by sediment carried by the river being deposited in the wider mouth.
This happens because the water moves less quickly there.

The C-5 Galaxy is a very big military cargo aircraft made by Lockheed (now Lockheed Martin) used by the United States Air Force.
It first flew in 1968 and was introduced in 1970.
It is one of the biggest transports in the world.
It is 247 feet (75 meters) long, 65 feet (19 meters) high, has a wingspan of 222 feet (67 meters), and can weigh up to840,000 pounds (378,000 kilograms).
It is used to fly military equipment on to battlefields, and because of its size, it can even carry tanks and helicopters.
Five C-5s have crashed.
The term template, when used in the context of word processing software, refers to a sample "fill-in-the-blank" document that can be completed either by hand or through an automated iterative process, such as a with a wizard.
Once the template is completed, the user can edit, save and manage the result as an ordinary word processing document.
Word processing templates give the ability to bypass the original setup and configuration time necessary to create standardized documents such as a resume.
They also give the automatic configuration of the User Interface of the Word processing software, with features such as autocompletion, toolbars, thesaurus, and spelling options.
Hurricane Betsy was a strong hurricane of the 1965 Atlantic hurricane season which caused a lot of damage in the Bahamas, Florida, and Louisiana.
Betsy made its most strongest landfall near the mouth of the Mississippi River, causing major flooding of the waters of Lake Pontchartrain into New Orleans; at the time it was the costliest hurricane in the history of the United States, and, as the first hurricane to cause over a billion dollars in damages, earned the nickname "Billion-Dollar Betsy".
It first hit the Lesser Ahtilles then Miami and New Orleans.
75 people died.

A delta wing is a wing used on fixed-wing aircraft, mainly fighter aircraft.
Delta wings are triangles.
Some were "tailless" (which means they had no elevators) and others were "tailed."
Many of the Dassault Aviation Mirages had delta wings (like the Mirage III, Mirage V, Mirage 50, and Mirage 2000).

Poultry are a from of domesticated birds kept by humans for their eggs, their meat or their feathers.
These birds are most typically members of the superorder Galloanserae (fowl), especially the order Galliformes (which includes chickens, quails, and turkeys).
The term also includes birds that are killed for their meat, such as the young of pigeons (known as squabs) but does not include similar wild birds hunted for sport or food and known as game.
The word "poultry" comes from the French/Norman word poule, itself derived from the Latin word pullus, which means small animal.

A gas station, also known as a filling station, fueling station, service station or petrol station is a facility which sells fuel and lubricants for motor vehicles.
The most common fuels sold are gasoline (petrol) or diesel fuel.
The fuel is dispensed by a gas pump.
Some of the different kinds of fuel are:
Gasoline (petrol)
CGH2
HCNG
LPG (GPL)
LH2
Ethanol fuel (like E10, E85, E100)
Biobutanol

A warehouse is a commercial building for storage of goods.
Warehouses are used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport businesses, customs, etc.
They are usually large plain buildings in industrial areas of cities and towns.
They have loading docks to load and unload trucks; or sometimes are loaded directly from railways, airports, or seaports.
They also often have cranes and forklifts for moving goods, which are usually placed on ISO standard pallets loaded into pallet racks.
In logistics, the warehouse performs the function of accumulating reserves of material resources necessary to dampen fluctuations in supply and demand volumes, as well as synchronizing the flow rates of goods in systems of promotion from manufacturers to consumers or material flows in technological production systems.
A nursery is a place where plants are cultivated and grown to usable size.
There are retail nurseries which sell to the general public, wholesale nurseries which sell only to other nurseries and to commercial landscape gardeners, and private nurseries which supply the needs of institutions or private estates.
Some retail and wholesale nurseries sell by mail.
A credit union is a cooperative financial institution that is owned and controlled by its members.
Credit unions differ from banks and other financial institutions in that the members who have accounts in the credit union are the owners of the credit union - there are no external shareholders.
Profits from the operations of a credit union are distributed to members in the form of dividends.

The family Tettigoniidae, known in American English as katydids and in British English as bush-crickets, contains more than 6,400 species.
It is part of the suborder Ensifera.
Katydids may disguise themselves brilliantly.
Some look exactly like dead brown leaves, complete with holes, lying still on the forest floor of the rainforests of Asia and South America.
Others act like green, living leaves fluttering from a branch.
They even have vein-like markings like real leaves.

"Bills, Bills, Bills" was the first single (music) from Destiny's Child's second album The Writing's on the Wall.
A track which echoed the men-bashing sentiments of TLC's massive summer hit "No Scrubs", and even featured the same producer (Kevin She"kspere Briggs).
The song provided the group with their first US chart-topper in July 1999, and also reached the UK Top 10.
The album featured a greater creative input from the group, although they still relied on a production crew including Rodney Jerkins, Missy Elliott, Chad Elliot, and Dwayne Wiggins of Tony!

Justina Kristina Casagli, (1794-1841), was a famous singer and actor.
She was born in Sweden, but worked in all Europe, especially in Italy and Germany, where she became famous.
She was born with the name Justina Kristina Wässelius.
Her sister, Jeanette Wässelius, also became a singer, but she only worked in Sweden.
Justina went to the theatre school Dramatens elevskola in 1805.
When she graduated in 1812, she began to work at the theatre Royal Swedish Opera.
The same year, she married the Italian dancer Ludovico Casagli, and got the name Justina Casagli.

The mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) are the wold's largest monkeys.
They are also the most colourful primates.
The skin colours brighten as the animal gets more excited.
Males live mostly on the forest floor, while females and young climb up into trees and bushes.
This monkey looks rather like a baboon, but they are in a different genus.
They live in large groups, mostly in rain forests.
Males have an orange/yellow beard and an unmistakable bright red and blue snout and rump.
Females and juveniles have a duller blue snout and a buff beard.
Mandrills can live up to 40 years in captivity.
They feed on fruits, leaves, roots, seeds, nuts, greens and invertebrates.
Mandrills live in Cameroon, Gabon and the Congo.
They live in dense rainforest and coastal forests, although they sometimes go onto the savannah.
Mandrills live on the ground and in trees.
Mandrills seem to live in large, stable groups called "hordes".
Hordes often number in the hundreds, possibly averaging around 600+ individuals and reaching as many as 845.
It is difficult to accurately estimate group size in the forest, but filming a group crossing a gap between two forest patches or crossing a road is a reliable way of estimating group size.
The largest group verifiably observed in this way contained over 1,300 individuals, in Lopé National Park, Gabon—the largest aggregation of nonhuman primates ever recorded.
These groups are made of adult females and their dependent offspring.
Males live a solitary lifestyle, and only enter hordes when females are ready for mating, which lasts three months each year.
All-male bachelor groups are not known to exist.
Carburization (often also called carburizing) is the process by which carbon is introduced into a metal.
It is done to make the surface harder and more abrasion resistant.
In earlier times, direct application of charcoal was packed onto the metal for carburization.
Modern techniques use carbon-bearing gases or plasmas (such as carbon dioxide or methane).
Carburization is mainly used to harden the surface of low alloy steel.

Sao is a non-spherical moon of Neptune.
on August 14, 2019.
Sao, or Neptune XI, like many of the farther moons of Neptune, is named after one of the Nereids; Sao was associated with sailing and is referred to as "The rescuer" or "Safety".
Before the announcement of its name on February 3, 2007 (IAUC 8802), Sao was known provisionally as S/2002 N 2.
The Dresden University of Technology (; TUD) is a university in Dresden, in Germany.
It is the largest university in the state of Saxony and one of the ten largest universities in Germany with around 35,000 students.
Dresden University is one of the oldest colleges of technology in Germany.
In 1828, the Saxon Technical School was founded to teach workers in technological subjects such as mechanics and ship construction.
In 1871, the institute was renamed the Royal Saxon Polytechnic, and other subjects, such as history and languages, were introduced.
By the end of the 19th century the institute had grown into a university covering all subjects.
It was given its current name in 1961.
The Dresden University of Technology is organised into 14 departments.
Almost all departments are on the main campus south of the city centre, except for the Faculty of Medicine which has its own campus near the Elbe River, east of the city centre, and the Department of Forestry in a town nearby called Tharandt.
The TU Dresden offers a wide range of courses and research.
It has a high reputation in technical fields such as electrical engineering or computer science.
TU Dresden is a campus university, meaning most of its buildings are in one area rather than being spread out across the city.
Some of its buildings are more than a hundred years old.
In recent years these historic building have been complemented by modern buildings (e.g. the library, the main auditorium, the biochemistry department or the life sciences building).
In 2005/2006, there were 3,442 international students enrolled at TU Dresden.
Most of the foreign students come from Europe (1,527), followed by Asia (1,404) and America (170).
Ranked by countries the largest group of students comes from China (710), followed by Poland (294), Vietnam (196), Bulgaria (160) and Russia (154).
The university is also quite popular among Central and East European countries such as the neighbouring Czech Republic (which is only  away or Ukraine.
Because of the Erasmus programme and partnerships with universities in the United States, there are many English-, French- and Spanish-speaking students.
But the language spoken during lessons is nearly always German.
To prepare for the university, many international students attend German language courses at the university.
Sports are very popular among the TUD students.
There are eight big students' clubs and the summer campus party is among the biggest in Germany.
There are cafeterias as at most universities and the largest refectory can compete with some restaurants even as far as menu size.

Tropical Storm Jerry was the tenth named storm of the 2007 Atlantic hurricane season.
It was a very short-lived storm over the north-central Atlantic Ocean.
The storm lasted less than 48 hours, half of that time as a subtropical cyclone.
It was never a threat to land.
The system that would later become Tropical Storm Jerry started as a non-tropical low pressure area over the central Atlantic Ocean on September 21.
The system moved in a shaky path over the north-central Atlantic over the next two days.
It slowly developed deeper convection and became more organized.
On September 22, the system had become organized enough that the National Hurricane Center mentioned a possible tropical or subtropical development in the area.
Late that evening, it had been determined that a subtropical depression had formed, as a warm core had developed but the system was still involved with an upper-level low and had its strongest winds well removed from the center.
Early on September 23, both satellite estimates and QuikScat data determined that the depression had strengthened into Subtropical Storm Jerry, despite the lack of a well-defined inner core.
The storm slowly acquired tropical characteristics including a better-defined warm core, and became fully tropical that evening as a weak and sheared tropical storm with 40 mph (65 km/h) winds over a small radius.
Jerry began to weaken once again early on September 24 as it accelerated northeastward over cooler waters with sea surface temperatures below 24 °C (75 °F).
It remained a tropical storm until later that morning.
Then it weakened to a tropical depression ahead of a powerful cold front with little deep convection remaining in the system.
Jerry remained a tropical depression as the cold front approached and began to absorb the system that afternoon as it continued to accelerate northeastward.
That evening, a QuikScat pass determined that Jerry had opened up into a trough which was being absorbed into the larger frontal system.
It completely dissipated by early on September 25.
Jerry never came near land during its lifespan, and no damage or deaths were reported.
No ships were impacted by Jerry.

Tropical Storm Ingrid was a weak tropical storm that existed from September 12 – 17, 2007.
It was the ninth named storm of the 2007 Atlantic hurricane season.
The storm developed as Tropical Depression Eight.
Tropical Depression Nine appeared at the same time as Eight but was much quicker to develop.
Tropical Depression Nine strengthened into Humberto–the next name on the list–before Eight became a named storm.
Tropical Storm Ingrid was a weak storm.
It only lasted for a short amount of time.
The storm got weaker in the Atlantic because of high wind shear.
Ingrid died out before reaching land areas.
There was rain in Saint Martin and Antigua because of the storm.
The system formed from a big tropical wave that moved off the coast of west Africa on September 6.
Because of strong wind shear, it did not get stronger over the next three days.
On September 9, it developed an area of low pressure in the central Atlantic, between the coast of Africa and the Lesser Antilles.
Slowly, the wind shear began to go away.
Dvorak classifications were started on the weather system on September 11.
By the morning of September 12, it had developed into Tropical Depression Eight.
This took place about  east of the Lesser Antilles.
The same tropical wave eventually created another area of weather activity that became Tropical Depression Ten, with the help of other weather systems.
The system moved towards the west-northwest for almost all of its life.
It stayed on the southern edge of a meteorological ridge.
Wind shear slowed down development greatly.
The system stayed a tropical depression for 24 hours before convection increased.
The storm became a weak tropical storm early on September 13.
The storm kept getting stronger that afternoon.
It reached its highest strength of 45 mph (75 km/h) that evening.
The storm did not get stronger because of a very strong wind shear from a strong tropical upper tropospheric trough.
Despite the high shear, Ingrid remained a weak tropical storm until the afternoon of September 15.
It then weakened to a tropical depression while east of the Leeward Islands.
Ingrid kept getting weaker as it passed to the northeast of the islands.
The system stayed a tropical depression, because it continued to create strong thunderstorms.
Ingrid became more organized for a short time on September 16.
This event was short-lived.
The storm became very disorganized once again that afternoon.
It kept getting weaker.
The final National Hurricane Center advisory was given out early on September 17 as the system weakened into a tropical wave while remaining north of the Leeward Islands.
The remnant low turned to the northwest within the low-level steering flow.
It died out on September 18 without any reforming.
Ingrid stayed just to the east and northeast of the Lesser Antilles.
It weakened without impacting any land.
Its remnants produced rain and thunder to Antigua.
On Saint Martin, the system produced  of rain in about an hour.
This caused some roads to become flooded.
No damage or deaths were caused by the storm.
No ships reported tropical storm-force winds.
Because there was no damage from Tropical Storm Ingrid, the name "Ingrid" was not removed from the tropical cyclone names list, and will be used again during for the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season.
This was the first time that the name "Ingrid" was used for a tropical cyclone in the Atlantic Ocean.
However, the name has been used in other parts of the world.

A Tropical Upper Tropospheric Trough (TUTT) is a trough in upper-level (at about 200 hPa) tropics.
Its formation is usually caused by the expansion of the Trough of Westerlies Wind to the tropics.
It can also develop from the inverted trough adjacent to a upper level anticyclone.
TUTTs are different from mid-latitude troughs in the sense that they are maintained by subsidence warming near the tropopause which balances radiation cooling.
TUTTs sometimes bring a large amount of vertical wind shear over tropical disturbances and cyclones so TUTTs can reduce cyclone development.
But, there are also times when TUTTs help start tropical cyclones or make them stronger by providing additional forced ascent near the storm center and an efficient outflow channel in the upper troposphere.
Moreover, under specific circumstances, TUTTs can grow into upper cold lows and may enhance the development of low level disturbances.

The southern Dutch half comprises the Eilandgebied Sint Maarten (Island area of St. Martin) was part of the Netherlands Antilles, until the Antilles was dissolved in October 2010, when Sint Maarten became a "country" ("land") within the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Although part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands the territory of Sin Maarten is not part of the European Union although its citizens are Citizens of the European Union
The northern French half comprises the Collectivité de Saint-Martin (Collectivity of Saint Martin) and is a overseas territory of France.
Antigua (IPA: /ænˈtiːgə//an-tee-gah) is an island in the West Indies, Leeward Islands in the Caribbean region, the main island of the country of Antigua and Barbuda.
It is also known as Wadadli, which means approximately "our own".
The island's circumference is about 87 kilometres (54 miles) and it has an area of 281 km² (108 square miles).
It has a population of about 69,000 people as of July 2006.
It is the largest of the Leeward Islands, and has a busy economy based on tourism, internet gambling, and education, including two medical schools.
Indigenous peoples like the Ciboney, Taíno, and Kalinago had lived on and around the island for a long time.
But in 1493, Christopher Columbus became the first European to visit, and he renamed it Antigua after Mary, the mother of Jesus.
The British came in 1632 and colonized the island.
They brought slaves to the island from Africa who were forced to grow sugar cane.
The slaves were legally freed in 1834.
The island stopped being a part of Britain in 1981.
It is now a country with Barbuda.

Tropical Storm Melissa was the thirteenth named storm of the 2007 Atlantic hurricane season.
It was a short-lived storm that formed southwest of the Cape Verde islands, remaining weak because of high wind shear.
It dissipated without affecting any land areas.
It was only notable for being the eighth named storm of September 2007, which tied the record for the month of September.
The system began as a tropical wave that moved off the west coast of Africa on September 26.
An area of low pressure formed on September 27 near Cape Verde in association with the wave, and convection slowly increased as a result of the low.
Early on September 28, a rapid increase in convection and a well-organized outflow pattern allowed the low to develop into Tropical Depression Fourteen while about 115 miles (185 km) west-southwest of the southernmost Cape Verde Islands.
Since the depression was far removed from the subtropical ridge and an upper-level low pressure area was sitting to the north, steering currents were weak at first and the depression moved very slowly on a general west-northwest track.
Vertical wind shear from the west also slowed down development.
Small amounts of strengthening took place early on September 29 as convection increased in the system, and the depression was upgraded to Tropical Storm Melissa.
Like previous storms Ingrid and Karen, high wind shear in the deep tropics delayed Melissa's development.
Operationally, Melissa was briefly upgraded to 45 mph (75 km/h) late on September 29 as some satellite estimates showed a slightly stronger storm with deeper convection, but Melissa was found to have been weaker in the post-storm analysis, remaining at 40 mph (65 km/h).
By early on September 30, wind shear began to severely increase and a weakening trend began.
That morning, the increased shear, combined with cooler sea surface temperatures, weakened Melissa to a tropical depression with a poorly-defined surface center as it continued to move west-northwest at a somewhat faster speed.
The system lost its deep convection and by the afternoon of September 30, Melissa degenerated into a remnant low as thunderstorm activity decreased.
After the circulation dissipated, the remnant low continued its general west-northwest track south of a rebuilding subtropical ridge in the central Atlantic.
The low produced discontinuous amounts convection until it was absorbed by a frontal zone late on October 5 northeast of the Leeward Islands.
Melissa remained away from land during its lifespan, never threatening any land areas.
There were no ship reports of tropical storm-force winds as a result of Melissa.
When Tropical Depression Fourteen was upgraded to Tropical Storm Melissa on September 29, it was the eighth named storm to form in the month of September.
That tied a record for the month of September, which was first set in the 2002 season.

Neso also known as Neptune XIII, is the farthest non-spherical moon of Neptune.
It was found by Matthew J. Holman, Brett J. Gladman, et al.
on August 14, 2002, though it went unnoticed until 2003.
Neso is about 60 km in diameter, and assuming the mean density of 1.5 g/cm3.
Its mass is estimated at 1.6 kg.
Neso is named after one of the Nereids.
Before the announcement of its name on February 3, 2007 (IAUC 8802), Neso was known by its designation S/2002 N 4.

A weather front is a boundary in between two masses of air of different densities, and is the main cause of significant weather.
In surface weather analyses, fronts are depicted using various colored lines and symbols.
Cold fronts may feature narrow bands of thunderstorms and severe weather, and may on occasion be preceded by squall lines or dry lines.
Warm fronts are usually preceded by layered precipitation and fog.
The weather usually quickly clears after a front passes.
Some fronts produce no precipitation and little cloudiness, although there is usually a wind shift.
The subtropical ridge is a large belt of high pressure around 30ºN in the Northern Hemisphere and 30ºS in the Southern Hemisphere.
It is characterized by mostly calm winds.
Air flows out from its center toward the upper and lower latitudes of each hemisphere, creating both the trade winds and the westerlies.

Vorticity is a mathematical concept used in fluid dynamics.
It can be related to the amount of "circulation" or "rotation" (or more strictly, the local angular rate of rotation) in a fluid.
The average vorticity in a small region of fluid flow is equal to the circulation  around the boundary of the small region, divided by the area A of the small region.
One of the base assumptions of the potential flow assumption is that the vorticity  is zero almost everywhere, except in a boundary layer or a stream-surface immediately bounding a boundary layer.

Popcorn is a snack food made by heating certain kinds of corn.
There is a small amount of water inside the seeds, which causes them to explode.
When the seed shell breaks a sharp noise is made.
The name "pop" is because of this noise.
After it pops it is white and fluffy.
Salt and melted butter is often added to popcorn.
Sometimes caramel and other flavours are melted and mixed into the popcorn.
Kernel choking
Many accidents of choking on popcorn kernels were reported.
This is because the popcorn kernel does go into the airway and throat, and gets stuck.
Many people want other people to take kernels out of the popcorn for children.
Pre-popped and home popped
Popcorn that is already popped when you buy it is usually tastier and puffyer than just buying popcorn kernals and popping them with a microwave

The SBD Dauntless (SBD means Scout Bomber Douglas) was a dive bomber made by Douglas Aircraft Company (now Boeing) during World War II.
It first flew in 1940 and was introduced the same year.
It was made from the Northrop BT.
The Dauntless's first bombing in the war happened on December 10, 1941.
The target was a Japanese submarine.
The SBD-5 (5th version) could go 255 miles per hour (410 kilometers per hour), and it had a Wright R-1820-60 Cyclone air-cooled radial piston engine with 1,200 horsepower.
It had two 12.7 mm and two 7.62 mm machine guns and it could carry one bomb or torpedo.
It weighed around 6,404 pounds (2,905 kilograms) to 10,699 pounds (4,853 kilograms).
It could fly for 1,115 miles (1,795 kilometers) without running out of fuel.
It could go as high as 25,525 feet (7,780 meters) above the ground.

Reconnaissance, sometimes called scouting, is the act of exploring to gain military information.
Often referred to as recce (UK, Canada and Australia, ) or recon (U.S., ), the associated formal verb is reconnoitre (British spelling) or reconnoiter (American spelling).
In informal English, both recce and recon are often also used as a verb.
The term is sometimes used in non military contexts.
Reconnaissance-in-force
Often, units sent out for reconnaissance are armed only for self-defense.
They rely on stealth to gather information.
Others are well-enough armed to also deny information to the enemy by fighting and or destroying their reconnaissance parties.
Reconnaissance-in-force (RIF) is a method of probing an enemy's position.
An attack, even with a small force, may get a strong reaction by the enemy.
Hopefully that reveals the enemy's strength, deployment, and other tactical information.
The RIF commander can fall back with the information or expand the conflict into a full engagement.
Other methods consist of hit-and-run tactics using moving very fast.
In some cases light-armored vehicles are used for added fire superiority, as the need arises.
A Cape Verde-type hurricane is an Atlantic hurricane that develops near the Cape Verde islands, off the west coast of Africa.
The average hurricane season has about two Cape Verde-type hurricanes, which are usually the strongest storms of the season because they often have plenty of warm open ocean over which to develop before coming across land.

A birth certificate is a vital record that documents the birth of a child.
The certificate itself usually includes some or all of the following information:
Date and time of birth
Sex of the child
Place and/or location of birth
Names of the parents of the child
Occupations of parents of the child
Birth weight and length
Name of informant registering the birth
Date of registration of birth
A birth registration number or file number
Most countries have statutes and laws that regulate the registration of births.
In the United States, it is the responsibility of the mother's physician, midwife, or a hospital administrator to prepare the official birth certificate.

Vital records are records of life events.
They include birth certificates, marriage licenses, and death certificates.
In some jurisdictions, vital records may also include records of civil unions or domestic partnerships.
In modern times these would be state-held records, though prior to civil registration these were often church-held records.
