Didcot A was closed in 2013 and three cooling towers have been demolished.
Didcot 'A'
This was the first power station here.
It is the biggest one with the big cooling towers (that make the cooling water cooler and make lots of steam) that are in two groups.
One group is northwest, the other group is southeast.
The power station can make up to 2000 megawatts (2000 million watts - an 'average' lightbulb uses only 50 or 60 watts) at any one time.
Didcot 'A' mainly burns coal, but can also burn oil, or in some cases gas.
This power station can use some biomass such as wood.
The fuel (coal, oil and so on) is first ground up in big mills if it is solid (similar to old flour windmills, but powered by electric motors) to give it a large surface area, and is then blown into a large boiler with lots of air.
Here it is burnt to make very high pressure steam, which is used to turn a large steam turbine.
This turbine is connected to a generator, which makes the electricity that is then sent out on the National Grid.
Didcot A was closed in 2013 and has been demolished.
There are now (2018) only three of the large cooling towers left.
Didcot 'B'
This is the second power station in Didcot and is run only on gas.
It can put out almost 1500 megawatts and uses gas turbines (like in an airplane) and steam turbines (like in the old power station) together to be more efficient.
This is called combined cycle gas turbines (CCGT).
It has smaller cooling towers that can't be seen as easily, but that make a more obvious cloud that appears to come from the ground.
Didcot B is still operating in 2018.
was a  after Kōji and before Genki.
This period started in February 1558 and ended in April 1570.
Events of the Eiroku era
1560 (Eiroku 3, 1st month): Ōgimachi was formally established as emperor.
12 June 1560 (Eiroku 3, 19th day of the 5th month):  at the Battle of Okehazama, the forces of Imagawa Yoshimoto were defeated by Oda Nobunaga.
1564 (Eiroku 7): Nobunaga took control of , also known as Gifu Castle.
1567 (Eiroku 10): Todai-ji burned in battle led by Matsunaga Hisahide.
1568 (Eiroku 11): Oda Nobunaga gives land in Heian-kyō for building a Christian church  which was first called Eiroku-ji then called Namban-ji.
1568 (Eiroku 11, 2nd month): Ashikaga Yoshihide became shogun.
1568 (Eiroku 11, 9th month): Shogun Yoshihide died from disease.
1569 (Eiroku 12): First Christian church opened in Nagasaki.
Samgyetang is Korean ginseng chicken soup.
It’s a food commonly eaten during the summer, especially on the three days called ‘bok day’s.
Samgyetang is made of a whole young chicken stuffed with sticky rice, ginseng, jujube, garlic, and ginger.
The chicken is “closed” shut and cooked in a soup.
The richness of the broth depends on the style of the cook, as is the added  ingredients that may be added.
Some Samgyetang broths are cooked for hours.
This broth is added to the chicken cooking separately to create a very rich soup.
Other broths are lighter and clear.
Samgyetang is usually served with salt and pepper, which is put in a small separate dish to dip the meat.
Some people like to add the seasoning directly into the soup.
It is usually served with kkakdugi (radish kimchi) and some restaurants will offer regular kimchi as well.
Sesame oil is a vegetable oil made from the sesame plant.
It is used a lot in Asian cooking.
The English term sesame traces back to the Arabic simsim, Coptic semsem, and early Egyptian semsent.
Semsent was listed in the Ebers Papyrus, a 65-feet-long scroll listing ancient herbs and spices discovered by the famous German Egyptologist, Ebers.
The earliest recorded use of a spice - sesame seed - comes from an Assyrian myth which claims that the gods drank sesame wine the night before they created the earth.
Sesamum indicum, (indicum meaning "from India") is native to the East Indies.
Usage dates back to 3000 B.C.  the  African slaves brought sesame seeds, which they called benné seeds, to America, where they became a popular ingredient in southern dishes.
Through the ages, the seeds have been a source of food and oil.
Sesame seed oil is still the main source of fat used in cooking in the Near East and Far East.
Buying & keeping
Good sesame oil has a strong smell when it is opened.
The color should be bright brown or gold.
It should be kept at .
If it is too cold, the oil would be solid and lose its smell.
Sesame oil can go bad if it is exposed to air and sunlight.
Therefore it is better kept on a shelf or a sideboard.
A dark brown bottle is better than a plain one, because the brown one can protect the oil from the sunlight better.
The bottle should be closed tightly to keep air out.
Many things affect the price.
Oil content is the most important.
Usually a bottle of sesame oil has 40~55%.
The more oil content it has, the higher price it has.
Another element is country of origin.
Also if you buy it made from a factory it would cost less than oil made in a country house by a farmer.

A gristmill (usually flour mill in British English) grinds grain into flour.
Grist can refer to both the grain that has been separated from its chaff and to the ground grain.
They typically have a waterwheel and from 1 to 3 stones for grinding, although some have more.
Water pours on to the wheel causing it to spin.
This movement causes an axle inside to turn.
The axle is connected to a gear which causes the grinding stones to spin.
At the top, there is a chute filled with grain.
The grain slowly falls through into the grinding stones.
There are different ways to transmit power from the waterwheel to the stones.
The simplest method is known as a single-geared drive.
Only one set of gears is used to drive a single stone.
This arrangement was used since vertical waterwheels were used in gristmills and was still used until the 19th century.
Another method was known as spur-wheel drive.
This method used a set of bevelled gears that would drive a horizontal 'spur-wheel', a large gearwheel that would then drive up to 3 or 4 millstones.
Another arrangement was known as a layshaft drive.
The waterwheel would drive a horizontal 'layshaft' with gears mounted on it.
Each gear would drive one set of stones.

The Kiss or The Lovers is a painting by Gustav Klimt.
It was the last painting in Klimt's Gold Period.
He painted it in 1907 or 1908.
It is one of the most famous paintings in the world.
The painting shows a couple embracing each other with gold leaf on canvas.
The man is kissing the woman, who has green hair.
Klimt has said he had obsession for the woman with redheads, and it was reflected in the woman in his painting.
The man and woman are on a flowery grassland.
According to the psychoanalytical and biological distinction, Klimt expressed them in different ways.
The man wearing a robe with black, white and gray rectangles is described in a rough way, while the woman is expressed with the smooth figures such as a circle, a curve, and flowery patterns.
Her hair is also combined with flowers; it looks like she is surrounded with flowers.
On the contrary, the part outside the couple in the painting is filled with flat patterning which has small gleaming dots.
"The Kiss" represents fin-de-siècle spirit because it shows a decadence through opulent and sybaritic images.
Also, the painting has some styles recalling the arts of other period.
Of them, by using gold leaf, the painting reflects medieval "gold-ground" paintings and earlier mosaics, and the spiral patterns in the clothes recall Bronze Age art.
In the Kiss, Klimt portrays woman as the femme fatale who is a beautiful woman attracting men sexually but brings them unhappiness.
It is said that the woman modeled for the painting, however, his life companion Emilie Flöge,who participated as the Viennese bohemian (Bohemianism) and fin-de-siecle circles like Klimt.
The painting is 72 inches high and 72 inches wide (180 cm x 180 cm).
It is decorated with gold leaf.
At the time, people thought the panting was too sexy, even though both people are wearing clothes.
The city of Vienna bought the painting from Klimt before he finished it.
It cost 25,000 crowns.
Klimt was a Symbolist artist and this painting was part of his Golden Period.
Klimt went to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna, where he saw Byzantine art, which also uses gold.
Also, his father and brother were metalworkers.
This is another reason why he liked to use gold leaf in paintings like The Kiss.
Japanese prints also affected the way Klimt made the painting.
In 2003, Austria struck a coin with The Kiss on one side and Klimt's face on the other.
As of the 21st century, the painting is in the Belvedere Gallery.
Hundreds of thousands of people visit it each year.

Asbestosis is a disease of the lungs caused by inhaling fibers of asbestos.
It is not to be confused with mesothelioma, a cancer of the lungs which is also caused by inhaling asbestos fibers.
Asbestosis has been the subject of many lawsuits, and many lawyers specialize in asbestosis and mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma is a cancer of the mesothelial tissue, a membrane that surrounds several cavities inside of the human body, including the lungs.
Although mesothelioma has many possible causes, most cases can be traced to asbestos exposure.
Mesothelioma is a deadly form of cancer.
Most patients are diagnosed in their 60s and die at around age 70.
It is different from asbestosis, another disease caused by asbestos.
Mesothelioma has been the subject of many lawsuits.

Carey Bell (*14 November 1936 in Macon, Mississippi - † 6 May 2007 in Chicago, Illinois) was an American blues musician.
He played the harmonica and bass in the Chicago blues style.
He was born Carey Bell Harrington.
As child he liked the music of Louis Jordan.
He wanted to play saxophon.
The family was to poor to buy one.
So he started to play the harmonica.
The harmonica is also known as "Mississippi saxophon.
He tought himself to play the instrument.
Soon Bell heard the music by the blues harmonica greats: DeFord Bailey, Big Walter Horton, Little Walter and Sonny Boy Williamson I and II.
At the age of 13 he joined of his pianist godfather  with  Lovie Lee's blues band.
In September 1956 he went to Chicago where he met Little Walter and his main mentor Big Walter Horton.
The tought him some harp playing.
To improve the possibility to find a job as musician he learned to play the electric bass.
He played bass in several bands .
In the late 1960s, he appeared regularly on the west side of Chicago with guitarists Eddie Taylor and Royal Johnson, playing both harmonica and bass.
In 1969 Delmark Records released Bells first album Carey Bell's Blues Harp.
In the late 1970s and 1971 Bell played with Muddy Waters.
Later he played for Willie Dixon´s  Chicago Blues All-Stars.
In 1972 he recorded with Big Walter Horton Big Walter Horton with Carey Bell for Alligator Records.
During the 1980s Bell continued to record for various labels and to tour.
In 1990 Bell recorded with harpists Junior Wells, James Cotton and Billy Branch Harp Attack!..
Harp Attack is still one of Alligator Records best selling albums.
Although he worked a lot for Alligator his first solo album was Deep Down not till 1995.
In 1998 he received the  Blues Music Award for Traditional Male Artist Of The Year.
Second Nature followed in 2004 an album he recorded with his guitarist son Lurrie Bell.

In Egyptian mythology, Babi, also Baba, was god in the form of a baboon.
His name is translated as Bull of the baboons.
This basically means Alpha male of all baboons or the chief of the baboons.
Because Baboons have many human characteristics, it was believed that they were dead ancestors.
Khepri is a god in Egyptian mythology.
He is a sun god who is often believed to be the third form of Ra, because of this he has a connection to rebirth.
Khepri is the god of scarabs and Dung beetles.
Looking at the actions of dung beetles pushing around small balls of dung, it was believed that Khepri was the god who pushed the sun in its orbit.
An appendage is a part of animals attached the main body.
Many arthropods have appendages on each, or most, of their segments.
Millipedes, for example, have many segments, and almost all carry two legs.
Insects have exactly six legs, two on each segment of the thorax.
Antennae (feelers) attached to their heads are another type of appendage.
All arthropod appendages are variations of the same basic structure (homologous).
Which structure is produced is controlled by homeobox genes.
Changes to these genes have allowed scientists to produce animals (such as Drosophila melanogaster) with modified appendages, such as legs instead of antennae.
The United Kingdom Ministry of Defence is a Britsh government department headed by the Secretary of State for Defence in the Cabinet.
It controls the administration of the British Armed Forces.
The present Ministry is a post-World War II creation, joining the Admiralty, the War Office, the Air Ministry and part of the Ministry of Aviation.
Ministers of State supervise each of the three armed services, and a Joint Chiefs of Staff committee is led by the professional heads of the three services.
Terraria is an action-adventure/RPG indie game released by independent game studio Re-Logic on May 16, 2011.
It was originally available on Microsoft Windows, but different ports are available on the Xbox Live, Playstation, Android, iOS, Windows Phone, and 3DS.
It is a 2D side-scrolling format, similar to Mario or Mega Man.
There are a wide variety of materials (Called blocks or tiles) that players can use, such as Dirt Blocks, Stone Blocks, Copper Ore, Wood, and many more.
Players need the right tools to mine any block.
The game begins with the player creating a custom character, and then is placed in a computer-generated world.
The players begins with only a few Copper tools, which are used to gather wood, mine blocks, and attack monsters.
From these basic Copper tools, the player moves up to stronger armor and weapons.
There are many bosses in Terraria that the player must defeat.
Although Terraria might seem similar to Minecraft, it is two dimensional and includes many more items and bosses.
In Terraria, the music changes depending on which biome/area the player is in.
It can also change if the player is fighting a boss, like the Eye of Cthulhu for example.
Azerbaijan is a one-party dominant state, meaning that is a system of majority rule where one political party, in this case the ruling New Azerbaijan Party, has successively won election victories by a very large majority and is therefore the dominant ruling party, which does not have to form coalitions (alliances) with other smaller political parties as a result.
The one party dominant state differs from a one-party state, because opposition parties against the New Azerbaijan Party are allowed, but are widely considered to have no real chance of gaining power.

Another example is South Africa, where the African National Congress has been the ruling party of post-apartheid South Africa since the democratization of the country with the election of Nelson Mandela in the 1994, winning every election since then.
During the apartheid era, the National Party of South Africa ruled from 1948 to 1994 and imposed apartheid.

O. Henry was the pen name of the American writer William Sydney Porter (September 11, 1862 – June 5, 1910).
O. Henry's short stories are well known for their  clever twist endings.
His whose tales romanticized the commonplace—in particular the life of ordinary people in New York City.
His stories expressed the effect of coincidence on character through humour, grim or ironic, and often had surprise endings, a device that became identified with his name and cost him critical favour when its vogue had passed.

As an undergraduate at Harvard, he was a Putnam Fellow.
He earned his PhD from Caltech in 1961, studying under Murray Gell-Mann.
He became a junior faculty member in Cornell University Physics Department in 1963.
He became a full professor in 1970.
In 1974, he became the James A. Weeks Professor of Physics at Cornell.
He was a co-winner of the Wolf Prize in physics in 1980, together with Michael E. Fisher and Leo Kadanoff.
He got the 1982 Nobel Prize in Physics for combining quantum field theory and the statistical theory of critical phenomena of second-order phase transitions.
In other words the prize was for his constructive theory of the renormalization group.
In this theory he gave not only important, and even numerical, insights to the field of critical statics and dynamics in statistical physics, but indirectly also basic answers to the question: "What is quantum field theory?"
and "What does renormalization mean?".
He also gave a constructive answer to another important  "renormalization" problem from solid-state physics, the Kondo effect.
He advocated that the federal government should buy supercomputers for science research.
In 1985, he was appointed as Cornell's Director of the Center for Theory and Simulation in Science and Engineering (known now as the Cornell Theory Center, one of five national supercomputer center created by the National Science Foundation.
Since 1988, Dr. Wilson has been a faculty member at The Ohio State University.
His current research interests include physics education research.

was a  after Genki and before Bunroku.
This period started in July 1573 and ended in December 1592.
The nengō Tenshō means "Heavenly Virtue".
Events of the Tenshō era
Oda Nobunaga suggested that a new era should begin in 1573.
The general meaning of Tenshō was "heavenly righteousness".
1573 (Tenshō 1, 7th month): Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki became a Buddhist priest.
1576 (Tenshō 3, 5th month): Battle of Nagashino.
1576 (Tenshō 4): Takeda Katuyori ordered the rebuilding of the Asama Shrine at the base of Mount Fuji in Suruga province.
1582 (Tenshō 10): Oda Nobunaga orders the destroyed of structures built by Takeda at the Asama Shrine.
1582 (Tenshō 10, 3rd month):  Battle of Temmokuzan.
20 February 1582 (Tenshō 10, 28th day of the 10th month):A Jesuit missionary and four Japanese Catholic boys went to Rome to see Pope Gregory XIII.
This is sometimes called the "Tenshō Embassy".
or the "Boys' Mission of the Tenshō Period" (Tenshō Shōnen Shisetsu).
1583 (Tenshō 11, 4th month): Battle of Shizugatake.
1583 (Tenshō 12, 4th month): Battle of Komaki and Nagakute.

The gold coins (Tenshō-ōban) were oval shaped.
In 1589-1590 (in the 23rd year of the reign of King Seonjo of Joseon), a diplomatic mission led by Hwang Yun-gil was sent to Japan.
The Joseon ambassador was received by Hideyoshi.
The fictional plot of the classic Akira Kurosawa film The Seven Samurai takes place in the 15th year of Tenshō.

Fray Marcos de Niza (– March 25, 1558) was a Franciscan friar.
He was born in Nice (de Niza means of Nice in Spanish), which was at that time under the control of the Italian House of Savoy.
He went to America in 1531, and explored the area above Sonora.
He was a very hard worker and explorer.
In written Latin, the apex (plural: "apices") is a diacritic.
It is close to the shape of an acute accent ( ´ ).
The apex is used to show that a vowel is long and not short.
That means that the vowel is pronounced for longer.
The shape and length of the apex can be different.
It can even sometimes be different within the same writing.
While pretty much all apices are made up of a line sloping up to the right, the line can be more or less curved, and is different in length from less than half the height of a letter to more than the height of a letter.
Sometimes, it is put at the top with a hook, pointing out to the left.
Rather than being centered over the vowel it changes, the apex is often drawn to the right.
Later, it developed into the acute accent, which is still used in some languages to mark vowel length.
In particular, Czech and Slovak, Hungarian, Irish, and (a long time ago) Icelandic.
Although not really known by some modern Latinists, the sign was actually used a lot during classical and postclassical times.
The reason why it is not usually noticed is probably because of its smallish size and the fact that it is usually quite thin.
People who look carefully will soon start to notice apices in the exhibits of any museum, not only in many of the more formal  epigraphic writings, but also in handwritten  palaeographic things.
Forgetting the apex, modern Latin spelling has recently started marking long vowels by using the macron.
The macron is a sign that had always been used, and still is, to mark metrically long syllables (more recently called heavy syllables).
This has caused confusion between syllable and vowel length in Latin, and most western dictionaries still cannot describe the nature of Latin vowels properly because of this.
To make even more confusion, the acute accent is sometimes used in Latin to mark stressed syllables, just like in Spanish, when the macron is not used.
Identification with the sicilicus
The apex is often thought to be the opposite of another ancient Latin diacritic, the sicilicus, which is said to have been used above consonants to show that they should be pronounced as doubles.
However, in his article Apex and Sicilicus, Revilo P. Oliver says that they are the same sign, a geminationis nota.
This was used over any letter to show that the letter should be read twice.
If Revilo P. Oliver is right, the apex as a sign showing vowel length would have been made in the time when long vowels were written double.
Then, when long vowels were not regularly written twice.

Differential geometry is a field of mathematics.
It uses differential and integral calculus as well as linear algebra to study problems of geometry.
The theory of the plane, as well as curves and surfaces in Euclidean space are the basis of this study.
Big discoveries were made in the 18th and 19th century.
In geometry, the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
Carl Friedrich Gauß wondered whether triangle bearings of ships really has a sum of angles of exactly 180 degrees; with this question he was among the pioneers of modern differential geometry.
A long time ago, differential geometry was used for map projections.
Today, it is used for fields as diverse as general relativity theory, or satellite navigation.
Grigori Perelman's proof of the Poincaré conjecture uses differential geometry.
The New Azerbaijan Party (Yeni Azərbaycan Partiyası, YAP) is the ruling political party in Azerbaijan since 1993.
It was formed on 18 December 1992 by the former President of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev, who led it until his retirement and death in 2003.
It is now led by his son, Ilham Aliyev, who succeeded his father as the party leader and as President of Azerbaijan since October 31, 2003.
The founder of the party, Heydar Aliyev, was a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union until July 1991 before the collapse of the Soviet Union and the independence of Azerbaijan later that year.
The headquarters of the party is in the capital city Baku.
It wants to build a "social-oriented" economy, meaning a middle path between socialism and "laissez-faire" capitalism (a mixed economy), and lists civil solidarity and social justice as the basis of its ideology.

A hanok is a type of house.
It is built in a traditional Korean style of architecture.
The main feature of a hanok is that it has combination of ondol, the Korean under-floor heating system, and wooden floor for heating and cooling.
This style is mainly used in Korea because of problems caused by the area having both a continental climate and an oceanic climate.
Hanoks have different shapes in different parts of Korea.
In the northern part of the Korean peninsula, hanoks have the structure of a house with several wings.
The wings are often built in either a square or the letter L. This helps keep the wind out of the house in the colder northern places and helps keep the house warm.
These kind of house also has low roofs.
In the warmer southern Korean peninsula, hanoks have a single wing and a wooden floor.
This helps let the air in and out.
Class differences
The hanoks is also different based on the class of the people who live it.
Hanok of upper class people usually have tiled roofs (called giwa) while lower class houses have roofs made of rice-straw (called choga).
Hanok for the upper-class people are built not only to be homes, but also to be very ornamental.
In a choir, there are up to 5 parts: soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, and bass.
A cappella can also have those 5 parts.
A difference is with percussion.
With musical instruments, percussion is done with musical instruments that you hit, such as drums.
In an a cappella performance, a person makes the percussion sound.
For a beatbox performance, performers make sounds like electric drums, synthesizer and electric guitar.
Another part of percussion in a cappella performance is making classical drum sounds for tapping the beat.
The word a cappella is Italian for "in the manner of the church" or "in the manner of the chapel".
It was first used in religious music.
Gregorian chant is an example of a cappella singing.
For the first 1000 years of Christianity, all hymns in the church were sung without instrumental accompaniment.
This style of singing came to be known as a cappella, meaning "of the church" or "in the style of the church".
A barbershop group has 4 people.
The name of this genre came from the tradition that when many men gathered in a barbershop they would sing with no musical instruments.
A barbershop quartet has four male voices or four female voices.
Mixed barbershop quartets are also possible, usually with two male and two female voices.
The voices parts are called bass, baritone, lead, and tenor.
In music in the barbershop style, the melody (the "tune") is sung by the lead part.
Contemporary is the most popular kind of a cappella these days.
For this kind, the "bass" line should be stronger, and the "chorus" (all the singers except for bass, percussion, and solo) should have variety.
The percussion should make their sound more like drums.
This genre is similar to 'doo-wop' but the "chorus" part is more complex and has a variety of sound effects.
Doo-wop is also getting more popular because of its simple style.
Even though it has simple moto (Italian for "progression of music"), it can be interesting with great vocal and chorus.

Boxer briefs are men's underwear.
They are tight like briefs, but still have long legs like boxer shorts.
They are becoming increasingly popular and are worn by lots of teenagers and young men.
Boxer briefs are usually made of soft material, and can be made in different colours.
Some boxer briefs have an opening with buttons on the front.
The waistband is often a separate piece of elastic, and is sometimes in a color.
Some boxer briefs have elastic at the end of the legs, and stitching across the bottom.

Spanking is hitting the buttocks of another person to cause them pain.
Spanking normally means hitting the buttocks of another person with an open hand.
Parents in some countries spank children and teenagers to punish them.
In some other countries this is no longer allowed.
Parents often hope that spanking will make the children obey them.
From the past up to the present day, adults have spanked boys more than they have spanked girls.
When a parent spanks their child, they usually strike the child's buttocks with their open hand.
Sometimes they  use other objects such as a belt or a wooden spoon.
At times the child's buttocks may be clothed.
At other times they may be bare.
Often the parent makes the child lie across their lap.
At other times, a parent might tell a child or teenager to bend over or lie face down across a bed.
When children are asked how they feel when their parents spank them, many say that it makes them feel sad, angry, and afraid.
Some young children in the United Kingdom whose parents spanked them said things like, “it feels like someone banged you with a hammer” and “it hurts and it’s painful inside – it’s like breaking your bones”.
The American Academy of Pediatrics is a group of medical doctors who work with children.
They say that spanking is not a good way to help children learn how to behave.
They say that it can easily injure a small child.
They say that spanking can lead to child abuse.
They say that parents should never spank a child with an object.
Some groups of people have said that spanking is violent and goes against human rights.
They are people like lawyers, social workers, and politicians.
Spanking a person under the age of 18 is now against the law in more than 40 countries.
Some of those countries are Brazil, Germany, Israel, Argentina, Sweden, Netherlands, Spain, Poland, New Zealand, Kenya, and Costa Rica.
Dr. Elizabeth T. Gershoff is a scientist who studies spanking.
She says that research done over many years shows that spanking does not work.
She says that spanking does not teach children good behavior or to obey their parents.
She says that children who are spanked obey their parents less as time goes on.
Dr. Gershoff said that spanking is "violent" and should be stopped.
In 2012, a group of Canadian  scientists also looked at many years of research and found that spanking does not work.
They said that over time, spanked children become more aggressive.
Murray Straus is another scientist studying spanking of children.
He has said that there is new research showing that spanked children commit more crimes when they grow up.
He said that this was so even if their parents were "loving" to them.
A small number of scientists have claimed that ordinary spanking does no harm.
Other scientists say that "over 100" studies have shown that spanking can harm children.
They say that spanking harms children's mental growth.
They also say that children who are spanked grow up to have more mental illnesses.
They say that no study has shown any good to come from spanking.
Scientists at the University of Manitoba in Canada found that children who were hit even "sometimes" suffered more mental illnesses when they grew up.
They could have different kinds of mental illnesses: long-lasting sad or discouraged feelings and a loss of pleasure and interest in life (depression), a lot of fear and worry (anxiety), racing thoughts that are hard to control and acting without thinking (mania), or a need to take drugs or alcohol to feel well (drug and alcohol abuse).
Other scientists have discovered that spanking children often can make their brains grow less than they should.
These children end up less able to think clearly.
They also try to hurt others more.
Ragunan Zoo is a 140-hectare (350-acre) zoo in Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta, Indonesia.
The zoo has over 295 species of animals, 171 species of flora and 3,122 animal specimens including birds.
Ragunan Zoo is a combination of a zoo and park, so it is also known as Ragunan Zoological Park.
It holds a lot of Indonesian species such as komodo dragon, orangutan, tapir, anoa, sumatran tiger, Javan Hawk-eagle and various colored birds like the southern cassowary.
Other popular animals are sumatran elephant, kangaroo, giraffe, and zebra.
Green chemistry (or sustainable chemistry) is a type of chemical research and engineering.
It supports the design of products and processes that use as little dangerous substances as they can.
Environmental chemistry is the chemistry of the natural environment and of pollutant chemicals in nature.
But green chemistry wants to reduce and prevent pollution at its source.
In 1990, the Pollution Prevention Act was passed in the United States.
This law sought original and new ways to handle pollution.
It aims to avoid problems before they happen.
Green chemistry applies organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, analytical chemistry and even physical chemistry.
While green chemistry seems to focus on just industrial applications, it does apply to any chemistry choice.
Green chemists reduce the hazards and increase the efficiency of any chemical choice.
It is distinct from environmental chemistry which focuses on chemical phenomena in the environment.
The 12 principles of green chemistry
Prevent waste
Design safer chemicals and products
Design less hazardous chemical syntheses
Use renewable raw materials
Use catalysts, not stoichiometric reagents
Avoid chemical derivatives
Maximize atom economy
Use safer solvents and reaction conditions
Increase energy efficiency
Design for degradation
Analyse in real time to prevent pollution
Minimize the potential for accidents

Toastmasters International is a global educational organization which helps to improve English speaking skills and communication.
In each club, members are led by the Toastmasters Manual to speak in front of an audience fluently, to think quickly and to react confidently.
The first Toastmasters club opened on October 22, 1924, at Santa Ana, California, United States by Ralph C. Smedley.
It was called Smedley Club Number 1.
Today there are over 13,000 clubs in 116 countries.
Clubs, meetings and membership
A typical Toastmasters club is made up of 20 - 30 people who gather weekly throughout the year.
The club meetings last for about two hours and there are many roles.
The meetings generally consist of the following:
An introduction circle at the beginning of the meeting gives the members, visitors and newcomers a chance to get to know each other and briefly and express his/her opinion on a certain question presented by a Chairman
Word of the Day is an unknown or interesting word, sentence, expression that is supposed to be used during the introduction circle or during the following meeting.
Invocation is a thoughtful thanks or idea to motivate members to do our best.
It is a short prepared speech.
Toast of the Day is a short prepared speech, dedicated to something or somebody the speaker considers worthy to be admired or respected.
Table Topics gives members the opportunity to participate in impromptu speech situations
Prepared speeches are based on projects from the Communication and Leadership Program Manuals
Evaluation is a part of the meeting, during which each speaker is provided with valuable feedback
Closing Thought can be a thoughtful idea or a joke to close the meeting.
Chairman opens the meeting, leads the first part of the meeting, prepares a simple question for the introduction circle, welcomes other speakers, leads the business minutes.
Word Master introduces and explains the Word of the Day
Toastmaster guides the rest of the meeting, introduces the speakers, gives short information about the speakers, schedule or events.
Table Topics Master prepares a topic for impromptu (unprepared) speeches, usually several questions related to the chosen topic.
He asks speakers to give a 2-minute speech with a structure - an opening, a body and a conclusion.
Table Topics Evaluator evaluates the chosen topic, the Table Topics Master and the speakers’ presentations.
He initiates voting for the best Table Topics Speaker.
Speaker presents a prepared speech, usually according to the Toastmasters Manual, usually two or three speakers are introduced.
General Evaluator leads the evaluation meeting - calls Evaluators, Timer and Grammarian.
He/she also evaluates other roles and the meeting as a whole.
Evaluator evaluates the Speaker, according to the Toastmasters Manual; there is one Evaluator for each speech.
Timer measures time limits of both prepared and unprepared speeches, uses a special light device to show the time limits (green, yellow, red).
Grammarian follows mistakes made during the whole meeting, reports and corrects them, and explains grammatical rules.
Quiz Master prepares questions concerning the meeting activities and asks participants to answer the questions.
Competent Communication Manual
The Competent Communication Manual is a basic manual for Toastmasters.
Members follow it to present ten speeches.
Each of the ten topics is dedicated to improving one of the speaker’s basic skills.
The skills are:
The Ice Breaker
Organize Your Speech
Get to the Point
Your Body Speaks
Vocal Variety
Research Your Topic
Get Comfortable with Visual Aids
Persuade with Power
Inspire Your Audience
