The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) is an international organization set up to protect plants, animals and habitats.
It was first called the "World Conservation Union."
It was started in 1948, with its main office in Gland, Switzerland.
The IUCN brings together 83 states, 108 government agencies, 766 Non-governmental organizations and 81 international organizations and about 10,000 experts and scientists from countries around the world.
IUCN's purpose is to influence, encourage and assist countries around the world to conserve the quality and diversity of nature.
It also has to make sure that any use of natural resources is fair and  sustainable without harming the earth.
The first Director General of UNESCO, (Sir Julian Huxley) wanted to give UNESCO a more scientific base.
He set up a meeting to start a new organisation to protect nature.
From the start the most important task has been to explore and develop arrangements that can allow development as well as helping people and nations to better preserve their flora and fauna.
The ICUN has always argued that needs of local communities, people and nations have to be the main part of a conservation plan.
Areas needing protection and threatened species would be best protected:
The IUCN now has offices in many of the nations around the world.
It is able to provide the services of a large group of mainly voluntary specialists, providing local level advice and conservation services.

Street dance is term applied to dances that were invented by the general public in the 1970’s and later in (largely African-related) urban cultures.
The term itself comes from the fact that the dances were made in urbanised cities.
There are no  rules to “street dance” as improvisation and freestyle is emphasized.
It is hard to define, but it is basically freely expressing music with one’s body.
Street dance genres
There are many different genres of street dance.
It is often divided into old school and new school, with 1984 as the dividing year (due to technological effects on the world's cities and youth cultures).
In the old school section, there are categories like tap, locking, popping, and break dancing.
In new school, there is hip hop, house, and techno.
There are lots of famous dance moves such as:
Tap dance - Invented by the Irish and African-Americans in the early 19th century, tap is considerably one of the first 'street dances' to take form, whereby the term 'street dance' was used to describe the opposition to the 'folk dance' and 'tribal dance style movements of earlier vernacular dances.
There is also swing and traditional Jazz dances that are street dance (as opposed to modern dance).
Locking - It was first made in 1970 by funk dancers in various clubs, with one of the first dancers being Don Campbell (who supposedly invented the 'lock' that the whole locking dance is now named after).
It was very popular in the 1970s and the dance itself is known to be relatively comic and lively.
Basic moves include the up lock, down lock, wrist rolls, points, and hand claps.
Similarly, the Hustle evolved out of disco, but a lot of Hustle moves come under the Locking category.
Popping - Originating from the west coast of the United States of America, popping involves sudden freezes of the muscles to maximize the moves.
It uses this basic principle, and mixes it with styles such as waving, ticking and the puppet.
It is not known what persons specifically invented the dance style, however, there is some history on the robot dance that it is thought to have evolved from.
Breakdancing - It began in the early 70’s, when DJ Kool Herc first used breaking beats.
Hip hop music was originally based on applying looped breakbeats over disco music records at a block party.
Dancers began to apply new dances to this new form of music style, which, after the breakbeats, became known as 'breakdancing'.
The dance has floorwork similar to the British northern soul and the loft dance.
Break dancers are called b-boys and b-girls, respectively of their gender.
The dance includes two types of steps: power moves and style moves.
Power moves include the windmill and headspin, while style moves include the freezes and footwork.
Newer forms evolved from breakdancing, such as uprock and toprock, which are danced upright, especially before entering the actual downrock (or floorwork).
Hip Hop - As one of the most famous street dance genres, there are many theories on how hip hop actually started.
Since Hip Hop is a culture beyond dancing that includes art, music, poetry and fashion, it is even harder to define when hip hop dancing actually started.
Along with the mindset of street dance, there are no rules to hip hop, and Freestyle Hip Hop is very famous as well.
Hip hop when named as a dance genre refers to mainly the commercialised forms of Breakdance, Locking and popping that is popular also in pop and club dance culture.
Nowadays, hip hop dance culture involves massively collecting fellow dancers into crews for competitions, which theoretically, helps prevents physical violence between gangs since such people perform dance battles instead of actual fights for territory.
The music genres gangsta rap and nu soul (contemporary R&B) often depict the everyday violence in urban and suburban culture, with hip hop aiding (especially youths) by providing a constructive thing to do as a hobby between work/school.
House - Born in Chicago, it began to become popular in clubs in New York in the beginning of the 80s.
It was first influenced by dances like jacking and lofting.
Later, steps from various genres like hip hop were mixed into it.
Lastly, the style was completed with a hopping feel to the moves, making the dance highly energetic and expressive as house music became more upbeat.
Basic steps of house include the sidewalk, happy feet, scribble feet, and skating.
One popular form of house dance is 'waacking'.
Waacking (or punking) is known to be first danced by mainly just gays, and was officially introduced to the mainstream by Tyrone Proctorm.
From the 1980s, it began to mix with other genres, and now it is often mixed in with girl’s hip-hop and tecktonik.
Techno - During the early 80s, industrial and synthpop music started to influence the sound of hip hop and house greatly by the use of European electronic music sounds reflecting the fact the urban world was slowly becoming more and more technologically based.
One of the first of the electronic dances was the electric boogaloo (depicted in breakin 2: electric noogaloo), which is highly based on breakdancing being applied to electro rhythms.
Techno dance became popular from the appliance of new street dances to electro music, as electro music steadily moved away from its parent 'hip hop culture' to initialise rave and modern nightclub culture.
Nowadays Europe has taken on street dance culture in the form of house and techno dance.
Although techno refers to most electronic dance genres, it also can refer to the Detroit techno dance styles and music genre which never became that popular.
In Australia, dance parties saw the birth of the Melbourne shuffle (based off hip hop, house, tap, Malaysian folk dance, etc.),
and Europe has invented its own dances such as hakken, candy walk, jumpstyle, etc.
Techno dance in its modern form makes competition redundant and is usually opposed to battling and caters dancing for the feel of the music, instead (alike early locking).
The red-collared lorikeet (Trichoglossus rubritorquis) is a species of lorikeet.
It was a subspecies of the rainbow lorikeet, but now they are regarded as separate species.
The bird is found living in northern Australia.
It is about  long with brightly colored feathers.
It is the largest of the Australian lorikeets.
The head and the face are blue, and it has an orange to red chest which narrows to a thin colored band around the neck, like a collar.

The feathers on its abdomen are dark blue to black.
It has a red beak, and grey to brown legs and feet.
The female is the same as the male but smaller.
They can live up to 15 years.
The bird is nomadic and moves about in large flocks.
They feed on eucalyptus flowers, as well as nectar from other flowering plants such as grevilleas, and seeds from grass trees.
It is described as being a restless and noisy bird, making a shrill shrieking noise when flying.
It builds nests in hollows in eucalyptus trees, usually near a creek.
They lay two dull white eggs in the breeding season from August and January or March to June or May to December.

In this game, the player has all military authority over their selected nation.
World War II is the background of this game.
So the player can select all nations that existed when WW2 occurred.
The player’s goal is surviving in the historical flood of WW2 and conquering the world.
In order to survive in the game, the player has to develop his/her nation’s technology level and organize the nation’s economy for war.
And, because each political regime has different characteristics in the process of war, a political statement can be important too.
However, because this game is a war game, the most important thing is making the army, navy, and air force, and controlling them to make your nation larger.
Cell biology is the study of how living cells work.
This includes the structure and function of the cell organelles, and the carbon-based molecules which cells produce.
Cell biology is an interdisciplinary subject, and uses ideas from  genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology, and other subjects and techniques.
The most important structures in the cell are the nucleus and the chromosomes, but there are others.
The structure of eukaryotic cells is much more complex than prokaryotic cells.
This is because endosymbiosis has occurred: some or all of the eukaryote organelles are former prokaryotes.
Examples are mitochondria and plastids.
The most important function of cells is to divide by mitosis or meiosis.
Cells in a multicellular organism also specialise in different functions, and the different types may look quite  to each other.
Cytology is mostly about the appearance and structure of cells.

Jacques-Louis David (30 August 1748 – 29 December 1825) was both a politician and an artist who lived during the French Revolution.
As a politician, he is most famous for being one of the handful of leaders that governed France during the most violent part of the French Revolution.
David believed that France should not have a monarchy and instead it should be a Republic.
He voted to have the King of France Louis XVI killed with the guillotine.
When the French Revolution began to fail, David was happy that Napoleon Bonaparte became Emperor of France.
As a painter, Jacques-Louis David wanted artwork to be political.
He often painted heroes from myths or history that he believed represented good ideals such as strength, brotherhood, and virtue.
His paintings are very realistic and often portray heroes from Ancient Greece and Rome.
This is called the Neoclassical style of painting.
One of David's most famous paintings is of his best friend Jean-Paul Marat who was killed during the French Revolution.
David's painting helped make Marat into a popular martyred hero.

Popsicle is a popular brand of ice pop in the United States and Canada.
It is made of colored, flavored ice on a wooden stick.
The brand name includes more than 30 different versions of the snack.
The Popsicle was accidentally invented in 1905 by 11-year-old Frank Epperson.
Epperson left a mixture of powdered soda and water and a stirring stick in a cup on his porch.
That night San Francisco went through unusually low temperatures, and Epperson awoke the next morning to find a frozen pop that would eventually become a favorite American snack.
At first, Epperson named his frozen snack the "Epsicle", and it became popular with his school friends.
In 1923, while running a lemonade stand at an amusement park in Oakland, California, Epperson realized that he could earn money from his invention.
Epperson changed the name of his treat to "Popsicle", after his children always asked for "Pop’s ’sicle", and signed up for a patent.
The patent for frozen ice on a stick was issued August 19, 1924.
Around 1925, Epperson sold the popsicle rights to the brand name Popsicle to the Joe Lowe Company in New York.
By 1928, Epperson had earned royalties on more than 60 million Popsicle ice pops.

Sexual fetishism (also erotic fetishism or fetish) is sexual arousal caused by an object or body part that is not normally thought of as sexual.
The term was made in the late 1800s by Alfred Binet.
Partialism is a type of sexual fetishism where the sexual want of a body part is more than the sexual want of the person who has the body part.
Martin Kafka states that partialism is not exactly the same as fetishism, although common use does not agree.

Photo booths began as black and white, film-based machines to fully coloured, digitalised machines.
There are many types of photo booths today that offer different sizes and kinds of photos such as passport photos and photos for identification.
Also, some photo booths give you a number of tools you can use to create different features for your photos.
Sticker photos are a good example.

All About Lily Chou-Chou is a Japanese movie made in 2001.
The theme of this movie is Ijime(bullying).
With this material, Shunji Iwai, the director, tried to describe teenagers’ sensibility and anguishes.
In the movie, there is violence, bullying, rapes, suicide, murder, sympathy, confusion, and music.
The entire mood is dark.
Although Iwai chose this movie as his best for now and his style is well reflected, it can be hard for audiences to truly sympathize with the movie because it is lacking consideration of general audiences.

The only solace Yuichi can find is Lily Chou-Chou’s songs.
Sir John Barbirolli CH,  (born London, 2 December, 1899 ; died London 29 July  1970), was a English conductor and cellist.
Barbirolli was particularly remembered as the conductor of the  Hallé Orchestra, Manchester, which he conducted for nearly thirty years, turning it into a world famous orchestra.
He was conductor of other great orchestras including the New York Philharmonic and the Houston Symphony, and also conducted orchestras including the London Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Berlin Philharmonic, and the Vienna Philharmonic.
He often played the music of English composers such as Edward Elgar and Ralph Vaughan Williams.
Barbirolli was born into a musical family.
His father and grandfather had come from Italy and moved to London.
His mother was French.
His father and uncle were violinists.
Barbirolli won a scholarship to study at Trinity College of Music, and later studied at the Royal Academy of Music.
In 1916 he joined the Queen’s Hall Orchestra where he was the youngest member.
The next year he gave his first solo recital.
He spent two years in the army where he got conducting experience with a voluntary orchestra.
In 1919 he was again playing in orchestras and twice appeared as soloist with the Bournemouth Municipal Orchestra.
Between 1929 and 1933 he conducted opera at Covent Garden.
From 1933 to 1936 he conducted the Scottish Orchestra in Glasgow.
In 1927 he took over a concert that Thomas Beecham would have conducted with the London Symphony Orchestra.
He conducted other English orchestras including the Hallé Orchestra and was becoming very well known.
He could learn music very quickly.
In the 1930s he made many recordings with the London Symphony Orchestra and London Philharmonic, accompanying concertos with famous soloists such as Fritz Kreisler, Jascha Heifetz and Arthur Rubinstein.
In 1937 Barbirolli was invited to take over from Arturo Toscanini as conductor of the New York Philharmonic.
To follow such a great conductor was a very great honour.
He conducted there for five years with great success, although there were some critics who supported Toscanini and were always criticizing Barbirolli.
It was a difficult time for him as a new orchestra had just been formed in New York, the NBC Symphony Orchestra which was conducted by Toscanini and they paid their musicians more money.
When he was invited, in 1942,  to stay on with the New York Philharmonic he decided not to, partly because he would have to become a US citizen.
Hallé Orchestra
The Hallé Orchestra, based in Manchester, England, had been famous under the conductor Hamilton Harty.
However, in recent years they had been sharing half their players with the BBC.
This had saved the orchestra in the difficult years when the economy was bad and during the early war years, but the orchestra was not as good as it had been.
Barbirolli was invited to become the conductor of the orchestra, so he moved back to England in 1943.
The first thing he had to do was to rebuild the orchestra.
It had not had a permanent conductor since 1933 when Hamilton Harty left.
Only four of the shared players with the BBC chose to join the Hallé in Manchester, so Barbirolli  auditioned many musicians.
The “new Hallé” made several recordings including  symphonies by Arnold Bax and Vaughan Williams.
Barbirolli conducted the orchestra for 25 years.
In 1958 he became “conductor-in-chief”, so that he could share the work with others.
In 1968 he was given the title “conductor laureate” for the rest of his life.
As well as his work with the Hallé he conducted the BBC Symphony Orchestra and other London orchestras, and made many recordings.
From 1961 to 1967 he was also principal conductor of the Houston Symphony Orchestra in Texas.
He was also made guest conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic.
During his last years he had serious health problems  His last two concerts were held in the St Nicholas Chapel, King's Lynn, as part of its 1970 Festival.
Although he collapsed during the Friday afternoon, he managed to conduct  Elgar's Symphony No 1 and Sea Pictures.
The last piece he conducted was Beethoven's Symphony No 7 on the Saturday before his death.
Barbirolli is remembered for his great interpretations of Romantic music and of early 20th century English music.

Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is an area in the ocean where only one country gets to look into and do economic activity, such as mining underwater resources and fishing.
In the case of islands far from the mainland, EEZ starts at the coasts of the islands.
Normally, EEZ goes out to 200 nautical miles (370 km), unless EEZs of two or more countries overlap.
Many EEZs actually overlap; countries argue over where their outermost boundaries of EEZ should be.
EEZ is prescribed by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
It is different from territorial waters in that ships and submarines from other countries can freely travel without any permission.
However, this is under the condition that they are just passing by and not taking any resources.
These zones were invented in the middle 20th century.
Amar Shonar Bangla (bn.
আমার সোনার বাংলা, pron. [

My Golden Bengal") is the national anthem of Bangladesh.
Adopted in 1972, the lyrics (words) were written by Rabindranath Tagore in 1909 and the music was composed by Gagan Harkara in 1889.
It was originally an ode to Bangamata ('Mother Bengal'); the music is based on the melody of the folk song Āmi Kōthāy Pabo Tarē.
The modern instrumental rendition was arranged by Samar Das.
Bengali original
My golden Bengal, I love you.
Forever thy skies, thy air set my heart in tune as if it were a flute,
O mother!
The aroma of the mango orchard in Falgun drives me crazy,
Ah, what a thrill!
In Ogrohayon time sees sweet smiles all through mature fields of paddy.
What beauty, what shades, what affection, what tenderness!
What a quilt have thee spread at the feet of banyan trees and along the bank of every river,
Oh mother mine, words from thy lips are like nectar to my ears.
If sadness, O mother!
casts a gloom on your face, my eyes are filled with tears!
Spending my childhood in your playhouse
Your dirt and soil smeared all over my body, I consider myself privileged.
The wonderful lamp you light up at dusk,
I quit play and sprint back to your lap at once, O mother!
In the cattle grazing field, on the pier for crossing stream,
Shaded village walkways, serene with calling birds,
Open porch with heaped ripe paddy my life goes on.
All your shepherds and farmers are my brothers.
This time I offer my head beneath your feet,
Bless me with your dust, I shall be obliged to flaunt overhead.
I shall offer you meagrely whatever I have at home,
Never bother to buy you, from others, a hanging rope disguised as a crown.

A Teddy boy was a young man who dressed in a style popular in 1950s Britain.
The word 'Teddy' comes from the clothes, which were a version of clothes from the Edwardian period, about 1910.
That period is named after Edward VII (19011910).
Teddy boys relate to early rock and roll music.
People often thought of them as rebels.
The teddy boy also meant the first British culture of young people.
For the first time, teenagers who were in a working class could buy clothes, a bicycle or motorcycle and entertainment.
Teddyboys wore clothes that might shock older people.
The style featured a long and jacket with one row of buttons and narrow pants, "brothel creeper" shoes with thick crepe soles and pencil-thin ties.
Duck-tail hairstyles were the norm.
The movement was working class, and rather dandyfied.
It was quite short-lived, and gave way to the mods and rockers of the early 1960s.
